Empirical study of the marketability of coal in today's environment

Purpose of Study: Having prior experience as a Rail Operations Analyst and currently performing the duties of a Distribution Analyst, it is out of both interest and concern that this study evolved. It is my hope to utilize all or a portion of this paper to enhance my job responsibilities, and in turn, improve Phillips' position in the coal market.Findings and Conclusions: The market potential for coal exists. However it will take an aggressive campaign to increase coal's market share. Until this is done, though, coal cannot become the dominant energy source desired
