availability and reliability of transportation facilities and
fluctuations in transportation costs could affect the demand for
our coal or impair our ability to supply coal to our
customers.
We depend upon barge, ship, rail, truck and belt transportation
systems to deliver coal to our customers. Disruptions in
transportation services due to weather-related problems,
mechanical difficulties, strikes, lockouts, bottlenecks, and
other events could impair our ability to supply coal to our
customers. As we do not have long-term contracts with
transportation providers to ensure consistent and reliable
service, decreased performance levels over longer periods of
time could cause our customers to look to other sources for
their coal needs. In addition, increases in transportation
costs, including the price of gasoline and diesel fuel, could
make coal a less competitive source of energy when compared to
alternative fuels or could make coal produced in one region of
the United States less competitive than coal produced in other
regions of the United States or abroad. If we experience
disruptions in our transportation services or if transportation
costs increase significantly and we are unable to find
alternative transportation providers, our coal mining operations
may be disrupted, we could experience a delay or halt of
production or our profitability could decrease significantly.
