I live in Central Pennsylvania and I am stunned by the train loads of coal I've seen heading east lately. I'm assuming it's being mined from Western PA (I've seen a reactivated "strip mine" near a friend's house west of me). But I have no idea if it's being burned locally or being exported. Ultimately, it doesn't matter WHERE it's being burned, just that it is.
