The United States, China and India, the world’s largest coal users, have increased coal mining this year by 6 percent following 2016’s record global decline.
Among the three countries, production through May is up by at least 121 million tons compared to the same period last year, according to data reviewed by The Associated Press. The change is most dramatic in the United States where production is up 19 percent within just the first five months of 2017, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
