What is West Virginia's softest coal?

Yes, it is bituminous (the only type in the state), if indeed you are talking about soft coal.

WVU probably has the hardest road to the Final Four of all the Sweet Sixteen.  Texas is a power house team that has great guard play and can also play down-low.  If WVU can get past them, which is no guarantee, they would have to face either Duke or LSU.  Duke is a talented team that I am sure everyone has heard of and about.  LSU is another solid team with "Big Baby" down-low.\n\nI personally cannot see WVU getting out of the region unless Gansey, Pittsnogle, and Herber can hit their threes and slash to the hoop.

If it's white, it is steam (water vapor). The coal and the water are separated from each other. The heat from the coal passes through a heat exchanger where it will evaporate the water, drive the turbine, and exit through the stack. Smoke from the coal will be emitted separately (and hopefully after passing through a few filters). \n\nTidbit: Modern steam engines don't release all the vapor, but rather recondense it and cycle it through the system again. Not only does this require less water, but is also more efficient since the water being evaporated is already near its boiling point.

I really don't know much about WV, but I've been there a couple times (to Huntington). If the rest of WV is like there, you're better off moving to VA. Don't get me wrong, the people are so nice, but there just aren't many jobs. I also have a cousin who lives in the mountains in Berkeley Springs and he works in MD.

It looks to be PA. See the link below, and look under category 212 (mining excluding oil & gas). Further on in the same table, the data is broken out into more detail.\n\nSomething like the USGS probabaly has info on mineral deposits.

I used to hunt the public areas in southeast Ohio that were owned by the coal mines , great locations . Look at the following web page gives all the areas in Ohio\nhttp://www.ohiodnr.com/wildlife/Hunting/wildlifeareas/wildare.htm

West Virginia Admitted as the 35th State in the Union\nJune 20, 1863\n\nWith the outbreak of the Civil War, Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861. Very few of the residents of the western counties owned slaves, so they decided to stay with the Union. As a result, West Virginia, where "Mountaineers Are Always Free," was formed.

It has a lower sulfur content than eastern coal, so it causes less pollution relative to eastern coal when burned.\n\nSulfur, when burned, creates sulfur dioxide.  Sulfur dioxide released into the atmosphere combines with moisture to form sulfuric acid, which then falls as acid rain.

Its quite simple actually, and won't make me or anyone else who can figure it out a millionaire anytime soon, contrary to other answers. \n\nCm = CA-F * T/A-F\n\nCoal mass= (acre feet of coal) x (tons per acre foot)\n\nYou have 200 * 10, or 2000 acre feet. A resonable number to approximate tons per acre feet is 1800 T/A-F. I got this number from a EIA study of Illinois coal, which is of similar age and grade to Indiana coal. Here is that source:\nhttp://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/coal/reserves/chapter2.html\n\nYou should have about 3,600,000 tons of coal. Total market value for Illinois basin coal with 11,800 Btu/ton and 5% SO2 has recently (March 2006) ranged \n$34.50 to $43.00 per short ton. Using $40 your coal has a gross value of about $144 million dollars. Net value will be considerably less since the cost of mining the coal is considerable and will vary according to regulatory compliance, thickness of overburden, and other market factors. It is also sometimes possible for a coal vein to not be laterally continuous or to vary in thickness. Some appraisal boreholes may have to be drilled to determine this. With that information an isochore map can be made and a more accurate appraisal can be done. \n\nThere is a good report from Purdue on Indiana coal at (pdf file):\nhttps://engineering.purdue.edu/IE/Research/PEMRG/CCTR/CoalReport-2006-3-14-06-Final.pdf\n\nHere are the current spot value quotes for coal:\nhttp://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/coal/page/coalnews/coalmar.html#spot

http://www.mme.state.va.us/Dmm/Orphaned%20Mineral%20Mines/Docs/Orphaned%20Mineral%20Mines.htm\n\nEach year West Virginia mines and quarries produce 10 to 13 million tons of limestone and dolomite valued at between $40,000,000 and $53,000,000. These materials are used to make a wide variety of products, including: construction aggregate, agricultural lime, coal mine safety dust, fluxing agents, desulfurization sorbents for coal-fired power plants, lime, and acid neutralizers.

I guess so.  They're essentially compressed coal.

In the 1940s to 1960s the coal mining communities were really booming.  I live in an area in West Virginia that use to be the home of millionaires.  Now it is really sad.  It is not a really horrible place, but it tries its best to put on a good front.  The city of Bluefield WV was a hot spot then.  Check out coal mining communities today and yester year.  Also a place called Bramwell, WV might just bring ome interest to you.
