      Bankrupt coal miners
      The volatile nature of the coal mining sector in the US bankrupted several companies. The past decade has seen more than 50 US coal companies fall into bankruptcy and over 100 gigawatts (GW) of coal capacity either retired or slated for closure. Janet Gellici, CEO of the National Coal Council (NCC), a federal advisory committee to the US Department of Energy, put the closures down to policy factors, many of which she said were established under the Obama administration.
