Unfortunately, most Ohio coal has about percent sulfur, a compound that forms sulfur dioxide when the coal is burned. Most swamps in which Ohio coal formed were near the sea. Periodically, sea water flooded the swamps resulting in the formation of pyrite (iron sulfide) and other sulfur compounds. The Clean Air Act of 1970, and later
Currently, there are about 90 active coalmining operations in 15 eastern Ohio counties that produce coal worth about 626 million annually. In recent years there has been a trend to return to undergroundmining methods, particularly longwall mining.
Coal would drive industrialization following the Civil War. In 1872, Ohio mines produced more than five million tons of coal. Production increased to ten million tons by 1886. During the early to mid twentieth century, coal''s value to Ohio''s economy began to decline. Much of the coal in Ohio

#0183;#32;Coals share of total electricity production is significantly higher in the two states that produce the most coal, Wyoming (%) and West ia (%). Power plants were purposely built near the coal mines in these states and coal remains the most economical fuel for these plants.
#0183;#32;The economic landscape for coal mining has changed dramatically in the past two decades. We use exogenous instruments for coal mining to control for unobserved endogeneity. We investigate coal minings impact on a wide range of local economic indicators. The effects of coal mining on local communities are complex and nuanced.
#0183;#32;The economic impact of coal mining in New Mexico is examined in this report. The analysis is based on economic multipliers derived from an inputoutput model of the New Mexico economy. The direct, indirect, and induced impacts of coal mining in New Mexico are presented in terms of output, value added, employment, and labor income for calendar year 2007.
Production increased to ten million tons by 1886. During the early to mid twentieth century, coal''s value to Ohio''s economy began to decline. Much of the coal in Ohio had a high sulfur content. Sulfur made the coal less desirable for two main reasons. First, sulfur increases the amount of pollution given off by the burning of coal. Secondly, sulfur reduces the effectiveness of coal in powering machinery and the
This is to certify that the thesis entitled Socioeconomic Impact of Coal Mining on Rural Communities: A Study of the IB Valley Coalfield in Odisha being submitted by Ms. Nabanita Das, Roll No. 509HS304, to the National Institute of
During World War I, Ohios coal industry realized production levels that would not be seen again until the 1960s. In 1918, Ohios coal work force swelled to its greatest level of more than 50,000 individuals. Today, Ohios coal industry employs up to 3,000 individuals. This decline is due in part to decreased production and technological advances.
#0183;#32;Induced effects result from positive changes to an economy that happen when a workers spending enhances a local economy. Using those multipliers, the coal mining industry in Alabama has a total output impact of billion, a total earnings impact of billion and a total economic impact of 15,000 fulltimeequivalent jobs.

#0183;#32;We examine the impact of the coal boom in the 1970s and the subsequent coal bust in the 1980s on local economies in the fourstate region of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West ia. During the 1970s, regulatory changes and the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) oil embargo drove up the price of coal and generated an enormous boom in the coal economy.
