OHIO NEEDS COAL COAL NEEDS YOU

Coal keeps Ohio's economy competitive. It is the backbone of the state's low-cost electric industry with close to 90% of Ohio's electricity generated from coal. Legislators and regulatory agencies who regulate the coal industry often do not understand how critical coal is to Ohio's economy. The Ohio Coal Association works with the state's elected and appointed officials to help them understand how important a vibrant coal industry is to Ohio's economic well being. We need your help to make our message heard.
