Our Mission Statement  The Mission of the Kentucky Coal
Association is to provide effective leadership for the coal
industry and ultimately to enhance the ability of the Kentucky
coal industry to compete in domestic and world coal markets.
Through a proactive approach in dealing with elected officials,
state agencies, the media, and the general public, the
association represents its member companies in innovative ways
designed to educate the citizens of Kentucky about energy
resources in general and coal in particular.  Coal touches every
Kentuckian. Coal powers the state literally and figuratively.
Coal provides 91% of the state's electrical power and mining is
the state's largest industrial employer. The Kentucky Coal
Association carries this message in a multifaceted program
supported by coal producers, suppliers, transporters, utilities,
financial institutions, consulting firms, and individuals.
