This resolution supports designating the week beginning October 19, 2025, as "Coal Week" to recognize the coal industry's historical and ongoing significance in the United States. The resolution highlights coal's importance as a reliable and affordable energy source, noting that it provided 19.5 percent of utility-scale electricity in the United States in 2022 and over 36 percent of global electricity worldwide. It acknowledges coal's critical role in the industrial revolution, powering steam engines, factories, and transportation, as well as its contribution to military readiness by enabling the Navy's transition from sail to steam-powered ships. The resolution also emphasizes the industry's progress in reducing emissions through advanced technologies, which support both environmental responsibility and economic growth. Ultimately, the House of Representatives supports the "Coal Week" designation and congratulates the ongoing efforts to reduce coal emissions while recognizing coal's essential role in maintaining military readiness and economic stability.
