Dig Up A New Solution Soon By Bringing Coal Into The Future Let's No industry has a greater opportunity to benefit on the energy crisis than coal. The United States sits on 20 per cent of the planet's coal resources, which consists of more than 3 trillion tons. Of this, at least 200 billion tons are commercially and economically recoverable with existing mining techniques. That is a 400 year supply at today's consumption rates. - . addition, almost 80 per cent of America's total fossil fuel resources and an overwhelming 93 per cent of the world's energy resources lie in coal deposits. By the turn of the century, 87 per cent of the world's oil reserves will have been exhausted, but only 2 per cent of its coal. Gas and oil supplies are decreasing and their cost is rising at a substantial rate. Nuclear energy is years behind schedule. So now all of a sudden, coal is back in the picture and with a very bright future. Within the next decade, coal demands are expected to climb close to one billion tons a year. But along that path to a new prosperity, the coal industry will have to overcome some very difficult problems. The first one is pressure by environmentalists on curbing strip mining and to set rules for ieclamatimi In 1965 only seven states had reclamation laws. Now more than 24 states have them. In C.J.

Highlighting the weekend will Football Team Name (Cost '3.00 per couple) 1971, 20,369 acres of strip mined land in West Virginia were reclaimed, compared to 878 acres ten years earlier. Pennsylvania puts heavy emphaiis on reclamation and ban surface mining in mountainous regions that are hard to restore. Also, coal companies must put up performance bonds to guarantee that they will reclaim strip mined land. Eafety laws are having dramatic effects on the coal in dustry, mainly in underground mines. The Health and Safety Act of 1969 was designed to curb the frequent roof cave-ins, methane explosions, and other disasters that have killed more than 1,200 miners and injured about 60,000 others since 1966. The coal companies claim that meeting the law's requirements has cost them more than 1 billion dollars so far and is drastically cutting productivity. The Federal Clean Air Act of 1970 stipulates that no coal user will be allowed to burn coal with a sulfur content higher than 0.6 per cent after 1975. Appalachian coal ranges from about 2 per cent to 4 October 25, 1973 be a semi-formal dance. The dance will begitiat 9 p.m. and will be held in the Reed Union Building.

Name Name per cent sulfur. Western coal, though, has an average sulfur content of about 0.4 per cent. But for the most part, the- Western coal reserves, which comprise of about 25 billion tons remain locked up while the battle rages between conservationalists and miners over the new laws over strip mining. • "One thing going for coal is that it is a domestic resource." As a comparison, the United States spent $2.7 billion on the im portation of fuel in 1970. It is certain that coal is the only fuel that can fill the gap between the energy crisis and the dwindling supply of oil, natural gas. Opening for Female R.A.
