No. Coal is present under 458,600 square miles of the United States, about 13 percent of the country’s land area. Coal is found in at least 38 states and mined in 27.

It is estimated that the United States has about 35 percent of the world’s potentially minable coal reserves, the largest of any nation. The Federal Energy Information Administration reports that the United States has close to 500 billion tons of demonstrated reserves (minable with current technology). According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the United States may have as much as four trillion tons of coal resources (total coal deposits, regardless of whether they can now be mined.)
