Fourteen witnesses representing both management and labor side of the coal industry, the railroads, administration and port authorities, and a South Korean iron and steel manufacturer testified on the prospects of US coal exports and improving the competitiveness of US coal in world markets. The goal is to increase US job opportunities as well as domestic energy security. Continuing efforts to achieve these goals include deepening and improving deep ports and advancing coal technology to reduce environmental limitations on coal use.
