China announces measures against Google, other US firms, as trade tensions escalate
Well, coal among other things. Quite a few other things, in fact. But coal?
Remember coal? Turns out the U.S. is the world's forth largest producer of coal at a little over 500 million short tons per year (although well behind China, at around 4,700 million tons, India, at 1,000 million, and Indonesia, 775 million).
About 90% of U.S. coal production is used to produce electricity. This map from National Geographic shows the location of coal-fired power plants, mostly in midwestern and southeastern states.
