[quote user="Norm48327"]I have been told (anecdotally) that the major cost of coal is the transportation via rail to the generating plants. I don't know if the source was accurate but it said the cost of transporting one hundredd tons of coal was one thousand dollars per 100 ton car. [/quote] Here is a link to railroad transportation cost from coal basin to state: <a href="https://www.eia.gov/coal/transportationrates/pdf/table3cn.pdf">https://www.eia.gov/coal/transportationrates/pdf/table3cn.pdf</a> it is from this website: <a href="https://www.eia.gov/coal/transportationrates/">https://www.eia.gov/coal/transportationrates/</a> And here is a link to current coal prices that shows why Powder River Basin coal is economical even at the East Coast: <a href="https://www.eia.gov/coal/markets/">https://www.eia.gov/coal/markets/</a>Regards, Volker
