Volume 1 of the six-volume report summarizes the findings of the Western Coal Export Task Force, which assessed demand in key Pacific Basin markets and the capacity of western coal-related industries to produce and transport coal to these markets. Despite the attractiveness of the potential Pacific markets, the task force ran into what it termed the chicken and egg problem in which both exporters and importers expressed skepticism about each other. The problem can be solved, however, with coordination. The report finds an expanded coal trade to be feasible, and recommends a strategy for dispelling skepticism about US capacity and prices. 73 references, 10 figures. (DCK)
