The coal industry of Illinois has its origins in the middle 19th century, when entrepreneurs such as Jacob Loose discovered coal in locations such as Sangamon County. Jacob Bunn contributed to the development of the Illinois coal industry, and was a founder and owner of the Western Coal & Mining Company of Illinois. About 68% of Illinois has coal-bearing strata of the Pennsylvanian geologic period. According to the Illinois State Geological Survey, 211billion tons of bituminous coal are estimated to lie under the surface, having a total heating value greater than the estimated oil deposits in the Arabian Peninsula. [133] However, this coal has a high sulfur content, which causes acid rain, unless special equipment is used to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions. [27] [30] [65] Many Illinois power plants are not equipped to burn high-sulfur coal. In 1999, Illinois produced 40.4million tons of coal, but only 17million tons (42%) of Illinois coal was consumed in Illinois. Most of the coal produced in Illinois is exported to other states and countries. In 2008, Illinois exported three million tons of coal, and was projected to export nine million in 2011, as demand for energy grows in places such as China, India, and elsewhere in Asia and Europe. [134] As of 2010 [update], Illinois was ranked third in recoverable coal reserves at producing mines in the nation. [126] Most of the coal produced in Illinois is exported to other states, while much of the coal burned for power in Illinois (21million tons in 1998) is mined in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. [132] Illinois also has more than twenty additional accredited four-year universities, both public and private, and dozens of small liberal arts colleges across the state. Additionally, Illinois supports 49 public community colleges in the Illinois Community College System. We're so worried because we believe that, you know, he would have been found by now," she told Reuters.
