What an inspiring week connecting with our Canadian colleagues! 🇨🇦

It was a true honor to represent the American Coal Council at the Coal Association of Canada conference. Industry leaders from both sides of the border came together to tackle the big questions—how we can innovate, collaborate, and ensure a strong future for coal.

The real highlight? The incredible conversations, new partnerships, and lasting friendships that make our coal community so resilient and united. Thank you to everyone who shared their insights and passion—you remind me why our work matters.

Grateful for the warm Canadian welcome and the shared commitment to advancing our industry. Looking forward to building on this momentum together!

Coal powers our homes, supports our industries, strengthens local economies, and helps make the moments we cherish possible, from harvest season to Friday night football.

Because reliability never goes out of season.
