Coal Demand Likely to Be Impacted by Tough New Carbon Emission Limits
The Paragon Report Provides Stock Research on Peabody Energy Corporation and James River Coal Company
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 03/29/12 -- The Coal Mining Industry faces another struggle as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) imposes limits on carbon emissions on all new U.S. power stations. The new limits would effectively bar the building of any new coal plants. The Paragon Report examines the outlook for companies in the Coal Mining Industry and provides equity research on Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) and James River Coal Company (NASDAQ: JRCC). Access to the full company reports can be found at:
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson called the limits a "common-sense step to reduce pollution" but others slammed the proposed regulations for potentially limiting electricity production.
The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity said the move will drive up energy prices and hurt job creation by discouraging use of U.S. coal resources that provide affordable electricity. Previous actions by the EPA have played a major role in the closure of 140 coal plants across the U.S. The new imposed rules will see that number increase.
