Western coal: problems, progress, and promises. Summary report
The Engineering Foundation conference on Western Coal: Problems, Progress, and Promises, focused attention on the significant issues affecting the development and usage of the region's vast reserves of coal. It appeared that the main issues centered around the lack of a National energy policy, the problems associated with the Federal coal leasing program, and the regulations promulgated by the Office of Surface Mining. The transportation of western coal was the subject of a lively session involving the railroad interests on one side and the interests of pipeline enthusiasts on the other. Technical issues were not neglected but were given coverage in the following areas: emerging mining technologies, preparation, utilization options, combustion research, and particulate/SOx emissions at the power station.
