Count on Coal

  • Print

Count on Coal is a campaign to make America aware of the benefits of affordable, reliable coal-generated electricity. From homes to businesses to schools, hospitals and local governments, we all benefit from affordable electricity with stable prices and reliable delivery. These benefits are threatened by current policy choices at the state levels and in Washington.

Count on Coal is a grassroots organization that seeks to identify, educate and recruit Americans to support our mission to keep electricity affordable by protecting and promoting the use of our abundant coal for power generation. Founded by organizations and companies that recognize the value of coal in our power generation supply chain, Count on Coal is growing to include community, business and political leaders from throughout the US. Join us to preserve our reliable, affordable electricity.
