Abstract
The Powder River Basin is the largest strippable reserve of compliant coal in the United States. It is the mother lode, for this Basin is currently supplying 25 percent of the coal produced in the US annually. This paper updates what has happened in the Basin since 1993 in terms of increased production, higher productivity, changes in mine ownership, safety statistics, new equipment, latest coal technologies, and electrical deregulation ramifications.
