Wyoming’s Powder River Basin hosts the North Antelope Rochelle Complex—largest coal mine in the U.S.—and the Black Thunder Mine. Together, they produced 22 percent of the U.S. coal supply in 2014. These images (June 29, 1984 to June 21, 2016) show the landscape’s change from predominantly agricultural use to open-pit mining. USGS officials estimate that these mines have less than 20 years of economically recoverable coal remaining, after which the companies will be required to reclaim the land.

Half of the 27.7 million tons of lignite coal mined in North Dakota in 2016 came from The Coteau Properties Company’s Freedom Mine north of Beulah. That’s not unusual. The Freedom Mine has a history that dates back to the mid-1980s of being the state’s biggest lignite mine. In fact, it is the largest lignite mine in the United States. #coal #coalstrong | Lignite Energy Council

BNI Coal mines more than 4 million tons of lignite annually and sells it to the adjacent Milton R. Young Station. All of this is accomplished by trained employees who mine efficiently and reclaim the land to a state as good or better than before mining operations begin. #coalstrong | Lignite Energy Council
