With great honor, Western Fuels Association Inc. (WFA) CEO/General Manager, Adam Anderson, was in attendance for President Trump’s executive action to reinvigorate America’s clean coal industry.

“Supporting our coal industry will increase our energy supply, lower electricity costs, stabilize our grid, create high-paying jobs, support burgeoning industries, and assist our allies,” said President Trump.

“Americans demand affordable, reliable, available energy. Clean coal can deliver it. American energy is rocket fuel for a stronger economy and a more secure country,” said Senator John Barrasso (WY).

“The future of coal is today,” Adam Anderson said. “It is the most cost-effective and scalable energy source essential to the United States. We look forward to the extraordinary opportunities that lie ahead. WFA offers its members diverse and extensive expertise in coal mining, fuel procurement, and transportation management; coupled with our Team at Dry Fork Mine, and their outstanding Safety Culture, we are ready to get the job done.”

“My Team recognizes and applauds the significance of today,” said Chris Fare, General Manager – Dry Fork Mine. “We saw the pride in the coal miners' faces on stage during the presentation, and every team member at Dry Fork shares the same sentiment. Dry Fork Mine has a world class safety culture and the corresponding safety record to prove it. We will continue to produce clean coal as proud stewards of the resource, and respectful stewards of the land.”
