Federal policy makers require sound coal reserve data in order to formulate coherent national energy policies.Accurate and complete estimates of national reserves are needed to determine how long coal can continue to supply national electrical power needs, and to determine whether coal has the potential to replace other energy sources, such as petroleum, that may be less reliable or less secure.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, total U.S. coal consumption in 2018 was the the lowest in 39 years, falling 4 percent from 2017, driven mainly by declines in coal use in the electric power sector.
