They burn that stuff here at Nanticoke and Lampton as well. It does burn much cleaner but has fewer BTU's per ton. During peak demand about 30% hard Anthracite gets blended in to get the units up to max MW's. As for spontanious combustion. Yes that stuff is like linseed oil soaked rags left in a pile. The entire coal yard is sprayed down with water and the coal stirred around. Shallow strip mining in the west is way cheaper than deep shaft mining in the east.

I caught a show on RFD dealing with a big grain outfit/setup I believe in one of the Dakotas. I'm watching them bringing grain from a conveyor across the top of the biggest quanset hut I've ever seen for storage, and they've got a tripper moving back and forth dispersing it, and some of it's being pushed around in piles forcing it to drop down to a converyor below ground where it's going up several small conveyors to semis for distribution. As I'm watching this, I'm thinking I see this all the time, just backwards, on a much larger scale, and not nearly as clean.

By the way, I'm a phone repairman and don't mind going down into the tunnels or up on the stacks. And as long as the other guys don't like getting dirty and are afraid of heights, well keeps me working. No complaints, work is work and pays my bills.
