   EIA: U.S. coal production to fall to 40-year low in 2019   
      
   The U.S. Energy Information Administration projected lower U.S. thermal   
   and metallurgical coal exports in 2019 and 2020 than it estimated in June.   
      
   The administration forecast that U.S. thermal coal exports will sink by   
   17.6% to 44.6 million tons this year and by another 12.6% to 39 million   
   tons in 2020, according to its July 9 “Short-Term Energy Outlook.” The   
   administration had projected in its June report that steam exports would   
   total 46.3 million tons in 2019 and 41.3 million tons in 2020.   
      
   The EIA projected that total U.S. coal exports will fall by 16.9% to   
   96.1 million tons this year and by another 8.6% to 87.8 million tons in   
   2020. Export prices dropped and have remained low through the first half   
   of 2019, which may hinder certain producers’ ability to compete   
   internationally as their contracts roll off.
