Friends of Coal Mission

The Friends of Coal is dedicated to inform and educate Kentucky citizens about the coal industry and its vital role in the state's future.

Our goal is to provide a united voice for an industry that has been and remains a critical economic contributor to Kentucky. By working together, we can provide good jobs and benefits for future generations, which will keep our children and grandchildren close to home.
