Take a Virtual Tour of Black Thunder Coal Mine

Take a Virtual Tour of Black Thunder Coal Mine

Take a virtual tour of Black Thunder Mine, the largest single surface coal-mining complex in the world. Located in northeastern Wyoming, the mine’s 1,600 highly skilled employees are proud to provide 12% of America’s affordable coal supply each year while also operating safely, protecting the environment and enhancing local communities.

    That first one billionth done is bullshit. They had to buy the triton coal mine to the south and add all their tonnage they mined in the previous 7 years to claim that number….very bogus..Peabody kicked there ass at the mine to the south.

  2. Commander Quest on October 20, 2022 at 5:45 am

    who’s doing mining in society?

    Sad that Obama’s war on coal has decimated this industry. And the current Biden administration is carrying on with it.

    Why don’t they use a bucketwheel excavator?

    What happened to respectful comments?

  13. John_H on October 20, 2022 at 6:17 am

    I really hate to tell you Mr Know-it-all, I worked there till I couldn’t stand it anymore and went to work in a mine to the south.and before that I worked at Triton coal company(the company that Arch claimed the tons from) Let me guess, you operate a desk for a living and have no idea how things really work.

    They’ll have to increase production at the Black Thunder Mine in order to keep the batteries of all those ‘electric cars’ charged and on the road ! There’s irony for you.

    People are going to natural gas.

    Coal is Great !! Coal Powers Iowa were i Live!!

    My grandfather’s farm in Illinois was strip mined for coal. The land today is ok for grazing cattle, but the 6feet of unbelievable top soil that produced corn or soy beans is gone. My in thousands of years it could come back. Strip mining for coal was bad idea on productive farm land that could feed people for thousands of years. The coal mined there is a long gone.

    Great vid!

  19. Leatherface123 on October 20, 2022 at 6:22 am

    I want to go there and see Ursa Major I hope they give tours of the machine

  20. Joan Stradley on October 20, 2022 at 6:22 am

    I was doing New Miner Training at the Black Thunder Mine the day the first train load of coal left the mine. There were less than 200 people working there at the time. It is amazing to see how much it has grown and to see that the mine management’s commitment to safety is still as strong as it ever was. David Stradley

    Beautiful. Coal mining has been vilified by those with political agendas.

    If anybody knows, is any of this metallurgical coal? Any used for coking or it it all thermal coal?

  29. LoveNotLabels on October 20, 2022 at 6:37 am

    Are those school buses those miners are riding at the end of this video? Wonder if any of them ever slash the seats?

  30. Mark Spence on October 20, 2022 at 6:41 am

    No. It’s the product they turn out. Low sulfur coal.
