Wyoming

called Thermo Coal meaning it has a higher BTU output. Wyoming and North Dakota Coal has a lesser BTU value making it unusable for Steel Making and for use in some Coal Burning Power Plants. Montana has just expanded their Thermo Coal production at the Coalstrip Mine,not sure what the new pit is named. This Coal is shipped off shore to the Asian Market and India.

Here is what is really interesting. Rocky Mountain Power is in the process of building out their Wind Farm east of and north of Evenston and a Transmission Line to Apex Sub Station north of Vegas. This new power will be marketed to L.A. and other Cities here in the South West.
