Coal explained
Where the United States gets its coal. In 2022, about 594 million short tons of coal were produced in 21 U.S. states. Surface mines were the source of 63% of total U.S. coal production and accounted for 65% of the total number of producing mines. About 0.5 million short tons, or less than 0.1% of total coal production, was refuse recovery coal.

Coal Mining: How Is Coal Mined?
Strip Mining. In strip mining, the first step is to strip off the vegetation and soil in the vicinity of the surface to be mined for coal. The large intermediate layer of sediment and rock, i.e., the 'overburden' is then blasted and removed using large trucks. Once exposed, the underlying coal seam is excavated in strips and transported out ...
