Most of the coal produced in the PRB supports electric power generation in the United States. Starting in the 1990s, many coalfired power plants switched to subbituminous coal from the PRB—which has relatively low sulfur content—to meet tightening Clean Air Act emission 2003, the Powder River Basin yielded more coal than the Appalachian coal basins in the eastern United States.

Some of these maps arn't very good or detailed. One map shows this basin covering both Wyoming and Montana. The reason I ask is OGE sends a UP coal train from the Powder River Basin to Red Rock, Oklahoma, near Ponca City. They have trackage rights over BNSF to get there which is why I see them. I'm looking at an a 1988 UP system map.
