Cams layoffs may or may not be related to permits, I don't know, but I do know that in the past most companies tried to keep 3 to 5 years ahead on their permitting. However over the past few years, permits have become harder to obtain. I know for a fact that many coal companies only have 10 to 15 months of mining permitted.

I was told by a high up in Cam, that their layoffs have zero to do with permits. They have 5 years worth of them. I just wanted to show EKY that all isn't the fault of the EPA. Coal companies can't mine coal for say 60 dollars a ton and sell it for say 50(numbers are only examples).
