U.S. Coal Industry Seeks to Boost Exports Through Gulf of Mexico

U.S. coal companies are boosting exports through the Gulf of Mexico after meeting resistance to West Coast port expansions, according to John Schlosser, chief commercial officer at Kinder Morgan Terminals.

Opposition from environmental groups in the Pacific Northwest has led to “delay after delay after delay after delay” in establishing ports in that region to serve demand in Asia, Schlosser said today at the IHS McCloskey Coal USA Conference in New York.
