Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States

Whereas the Nation is greatly indebted to coal miners for the 
difficult and dangerous work they perform to provide the 
fuel needed to operate the Nation’s industries and to pro-

Whereas, during the last century, over 100,000 coal miners 
have been killed in mining accidents in the Nation’s coal 
mines; 
Whereas thousands of coal miners have contracted black lung 
disease as a direct result of their toil in the Nation’s coal 
mines; 
Whereas coal provides 50 percent of the Nation’s electricity 
and is an essential fuel for industries such as steel, ce-
ment, chemicals, food, and paper; 
Whereas the United States has a demonstrated coal reserve 
of more than 491 billion tons, with an estimated 263 bil-
lion tons of recoverable reserves, which, at current pro-
duction rates, represents about 275 years of recoverable 
coal reserves; 
Whereas these coal reserves represent about 95 percent of all 
fossil fuel reserves in the United States, and about 25 
percent of the world’s known coal reserves; 
Whereas the recoverable coal reserves in the United States 
have the energy equivalent of about 1 trillion barrels of 
oil, which is comparable to all of the world’s best known 
oil reserves; 
Whereas, since the energy crisis of the 1970s, United States 
dependence on foreign oil has grown substantially, with 
imported oil accounting for 39 percent of all oil consumed 
in 1973 and about 60 percent today; 
Whereas energy security is an integral component of the Na-
tion’s economy and national security; 
Whereas coal mining continues to be the economic engine for 
many communities, providing jobs to areas with little eco-
nomic diversity;
