Additional signs that the economy is moving in the right direction;

major foreign companies looking to buy our resources. The kind of resources to produce big stuff like… steel and energy.

Coal is known as two types;

- metallurgic- used to heat generate the high heat/ energy needed for steel production

- thermal- used by energy plants to produce energy/ electricity

The most recent is real close to home in the Central Appalachian region. An Indian company is looking to buy a US coal company in order to control a key resource needed to produce coal. The same firm is a major producer of steel to global market.

This comes after hearing recently that foreign interests are also looking to buy “Coke “ operations a key raw material in making steel.

Let’s hope that these are good signs for the economy as a key material for industry production and growth, steel is being produced. Additionally, the raw materials and resources to produce steel and energy are seeing activity.
