Rankings

Definition

Coal produced by the mines in the place in the year, all ranks and mining methods, in short tons of 2,000 pounds, as published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

One short ton is 0.907 metric tonnes. The series starts in 2001. A state whose mines closed has no value after its last producing year, and a year with no production can show zero.
