Coal Exports Choked by Green-Minded Towns on U.S. West Coast (1)

摘要

It’s about to get harder for America’s miners to ship coal to Asia. On Tuesday, the city of Richmond, California, is expected to approve a ban on coal at a terminal that accounts for almost a quarter of exports from the U.S. West Coast. The prohibition will shut miners out of one of the few places in the region willing to handle the fuel and limit their access to one place in the world where coal demand is still growing.
