Today’s coal industry is subject to increasing scrutiny and unprecedented demands from legislators, environmental groups, shareholders and the general public. Rapidly changing legislative realities have even the most seasoned Beltway insiders struggling to keep up. Business resources are being stretched thin to address safety, environmental compliance, permitting, technology development, and infrastructure needs. Operations and construction costs are rising in response to unprecedented global demand for labor, steel, petroleum products and engineering services. Supply dynamics are shifting with emerging markets for U.S. exports and the increasing use of scrubbers.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about a broad spectrum of the industry’s most pressing issues, including legislative and regulatory changes and how these factors interact to affect decisions regarding mine and power plant development, fuel sourcing and strategic planning.
