Alpha Natural Resources
Alpha Natural Resources
The competition is hot for coal-based energy company Alpha Natural Resources. As the push for alternative fuel resources in North America and abroad continues, so does the struggle for one of the nation's largest coal companies. In September, Alpha Natural Resources announced the closure of several mines in Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia due to a lack of demand and declining coal prices. In its annual 10-K filling, the company cited the shift from coal-fueled power plants to clean-fuel methods (such as natural gas) as a primary reason for the decline in steam coal demand, which accounted for nearly 81% of the company's coal sales in 2012.2013 rank: 502
