I was prairie dog hunting in the Shirley Basin. A friend from Laramie brought a guy to hunt with us that worked in the mines in Gillette. He said the seam he was working in was a hundred feet thick and I said WOW. Oh that’s he said nothing the next seam is 500 feet thick. Where we live a three feet thick seam is thick. I learned something WY coal can’t be exported, it has a short shelf life. Shelf life? Do what never heard of such a thing. I don’t know if our coal has a shelf life. When they get done mining a seam in SW Va they blast the pillows that hold the mountain up and set the mountain down the thickness of the seam.
