Re: [CBQ] What's Wrong With 5030?

The coal in northern Wyoming that spills over into southeastern Montana is mostly low sulfur, sub-bituminous and some bituminous. There is a lot of Lignite in eastern Montana that stretches a little into Wyoming as well.

I appreciate Hol pointing out the differences between sub-bituminous coal and lignite. My step dad ran the labs at Big Horn and Decker at different times when I was a kid so I grew to understand a little coal chemistry. When I see lignite, I have a hard time thinking it as coal. As Hol mentioned, it's a lot more brown.

If you google around you can find maps that show the general areas where coal is found. Unfortuntatly, I can't put my finger in the Wyoming map, but here is one of Montana.
