In the US, Bituminous Coal exists in the geological area known as The Pittsburgh Coal Seam-- an area extending from Western Pennsylvania, Western West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Though mined since the days of Native American Indians, and heavily mined since 1800, it is estimated there is still enough coal in this large seam to last millions of years. Bituminous coal is a soft coal that burns hot and long, and was well-suited to burning in factories and homes.
