This patriotic, color educational film is about coal and how it's beneficial to our energy resources. It dates to 1974.
Opening: field, trees on the side of a mountain, grain in a field, ocean water, water flows from a dam - Title: An American Asset (:06-:45). People walk in a major metropolitan area, NYC. Steel workers at work. A woman uses her thermostat in the house. Traffic backed up on a highway. Gas shortage footage from the mid 1970s - a line at a gas station and a sign that reads: NO GAS. Oil refinery (:46-1:42). Oil rig at work. Giant ship at sea. Off shore oil rig. Men in a control room. Uranium is removed slowly with a crane. The side of a mountain with lots of coal nearby. Coal is a natural energy resource. A pie graph shows that coal represents almost 90% of our energy inventory. Coal is an American energy asset. A piece of coal. Marshy swamp. Peat was an early form of coal. Molecules are shown squeezing out in animation. Lignite, Bituminous, anthracite are explained. Different layers of sedimentary rock are shown in an animated diagram with coal near the bottom.
(1:43-4:55). Riding through a coal mine. The tools for dredging up coal are shown. A miner uses a machine to dig up coal. Shuttle car is loaded with cut coal. Coal is deposited onto a conveyor belt. A small mining train pulls coal out in its cars. Miners use hoses to spray limestone to protect against dust and provide safety. Steel rods secure the roof. Miners discuss (4:56-8:03). Hands use drafting equipment and work on paperwork. Control room of a mine. A hand pulls knobs. Closed circuit cameras show video replay. Animation shows Overburden like clay, limestone and shale. Beneath that is coal. A blast is done to get closer to the coal. A machine drills into a hillside. Workers pass things around. Bulldozers push rock around (8:04-10:39). Seed and water is spread once the land is flattened. A man wearing a safety helmet looks at a dry field in the west. A fertile grass covers an area where a worker looks. Overburden is moved. A giant Dragline is required to move overburden. A huge loading shovel scoops up the coal and pours it into a dump truck. Dump trucks drive off and move the coal. Coal runs on a belt. Miners in a control room. Coal coming down a belt (10:40-13:12). Metallurgical coal or coking coal is a grade of coal that can be used to produce good-quality coke. Coke is an essential fuel and reactant in the process for steelmaking. The demand for metallurgical coal is highly coupled to the demand for steel. A worker hoses things down. Coal is put onto a belt and placed into a ship. Multiple train cars carry coal. A unit train loads and unloads, never stopping. River barge float coal up and down US rivers. Coal is dumped into a barge. A barge blares its horn as it passes the St. Louis Arch (13:13-15:27). A coal pipeline. Fuel is mixed with water. An electric power station at the mouth of a mine. Coal comes up the belt. Electric power towers. A piece of coal. Exterior of the Bituminous Coal Research, Inc. building (15:28-17:04). A person wearing safety goggles looks into a microscope. Scientists work on experiments. A person scoops up water to test it. More looking into a microscope. Scientists perform a test with heat. Control room knobs and buttons. Coal is converted from a solid into a gaseous state. Men walk around the inside of the plant (17:05-19:08). Close on pipes. A worker wears a breathing apparatus and checks levels. A guy pours coal into a pipe. Miners ready themselves to go into the mine and walk into the mine tunnel. At the end of the shift the miners take a small version of a rail car. Men remove their shirts and take showers. A man smokes. Downtown main street. A nice neighborhood. Snow flurries fall as men get into a car and drive out of a driveway (19:09-22:27).

Some 40+ years later, we now are a leading producer and exporter of energy from natural gas and oil...who knew?
Still true today. Beautiful
muy boniro documental, saludos desde mexico
veri nice documentari, greetin's from mexico
Aaah! Beautiful clean coal! I love it! It's shiny texture! The smooth bituminous blackness! The smell, oh the smell, there is nothing like it! But at least since 1974, science has indeed explored coal's deeper dimensions and unlocked its vast possibilities. It has found that coal can be beautiful and clean in the ground, so that it shall not cause mass extinction and the end of civilization. Best not allow it to do that, it would not be great at all. We just cannot destroy coal's wonder and beauty by burning it.
come to Schuylkill county P.A to Anthracite coal area and see how they reclaimed the land,,,they didnt
The money was spent cleaning up Three Mile Island.
Come to southwest Indiana I can show you many places that are better than they found and mined them.
My uncle murlin lived in tower city, and you can still go see an old coal field.
It interesting, and easy when looking back, to question coal's claim that nuclear has dubious environmental consequences. Coal has a higher carbon to hydrogen ratio in it's molecular structure than any other fossil fuel, while nuclear has zero carbon emissions.
RON OBRIEN very true. it should only be used in moderation or out of necessity. or even just as a source of carbon.
RON. Nothing has zero carbon emissions. It's mined, handled, transported, processed and ultimately reprocessed or stored/buried. There will have been a carbon based fuel used somewhere in that.
Personally I don't give a chuff about carbon emissions, they only matter if you believe in man made global warming. Coal burning boiler emissions have been sprayed to remove sulphur. We used fluidised beds in the boiler with limestone chippings to remove chlorine. Electrostatic charges are used to remove any fly ash. The polluting elements from the burn have been removed, now the problem is CO2.
Don't look at what the great and the good said look at what they have done. Remember all the rising sea levels that go hand in hand with global warming? Where is Al Gore's house? Where is Barack Obama's new $16M house? How much money has been invested in the Seychelles in the last 30 years? They have an awful lot of faith in man to conquer the problems, or they might have just been talking shite?
Nuclear has the very highest carbon footprint of all. All other ways of energy production combined still wouldn't begin to equal nuclear. Remember, you have to include everything, from the mining of uranium to maintaining waste disposal for the next umpity millions of years.
An enormous amount of the planet is now permanently dead from radiation and the oxygen-producing phytoplankton of the planetary ocean are dying off.
Just in case anyone has forgotten the Fukushima ELE...
Not since the Asteroid Impact ELE of 66 million years ago has anything caused so much slaughter of life as the Fukushima ELE. And the Fukushima ELE is still only in its very initial stages. Still many, many, many thousands of years to run its course.
One of you tree huggers wish to explain to me if plants respirate Co2 and so does burning coal, how is this bad for us again??
_You_ are the carbon they want to reduce.
@@randacnam7321 exactly...
Iujli Kiki I k
The most outrageous propaganda - glad the industry is on its knees and quickly vanishing.
don't hug too many trees now, bud. go back to reading the guide lol
go refill your sippy cup and take your nap in your parent's basement. someday if you ever move out, you may understand energy a little clearer
If tomorrow the US got all its electricity from solar, wind an unicorn farts we would still be mining coal.
It is needed to make steel, some medicines are made from it and it will still be burnt to make electricity long after I am dead.
Somthing has to power all those electric cars they are pushing after all.
Hey bud🖕. Give it 20 years and you would not even know the area was mined.
You are probably a trust fund baby who has taken your boyfriend's view passed on to him from one of our billionaires who sent all the factories abroad so they can make more money. Leaving the USA with a bunch of unskilled and unmotivated people.
