One at least every half hour all day all night. Jeffery plant in Kansas has a yuge stockpile of coal stacked up. I believe Wyoming coal is mined on the surface. Yes, Wyoming is all surface mined coal today. There was one underground mine near Rock Springs, but I think it closed a couple years ago. I have been underground at a couple mines in Utah and Colorado. High seams, with extreme cover. Over 2000 feet. In really deep mines, you have the dangers of bumps and rock bursts. The weight of the mountain causes pillar failure….the walls ( ribs ) can spall violently, throwing coal horizontally like it was shot out of a cannon.
