Illinois is able to produce a constant supply of coal for industries of this vast area, not only because of the efficiency and enterprise of our mine labor, engineers, and operators in our rich and long established underground mines, but because of the development of strip mining which now accounts for per cent of the total coal production of Illinois, and for an even greater percentage
Illinois basin coal (ILB) is favoured with some of the lowest cost mines in the US; however, in southern Illinois for instance, ILB might be delivered to a nearby plant for about /mmbtu. In that same region natural gas might be /mmbtu (adjusted for the greater efficiency of a gas combined cycle) and powder river basin coal could be /mmbtu, he explains.
