Due to its abundance, coal has been mined in various parts of the world throughout history and continues to be an
important economic activity today. Compared to wood fuels, coal yields a higher amount of energy per mass and could
be obtained in areas where wood is not readily available. Though historically used as a means of household heating,
coal is now mostly used in industry, especially in smelting and alloy production, as well as electricity generation.
Large-scale coal mining developed during the Industrial Revolution, and coal provided the main source of primary
energy for industry and transportation in the West from the 18th century to the 1950s. Coal remains an important energy
source, due to its low cost and abundance when compared to other fuels, particularly for electricity generation. However,
coal is also mined today on a large scale by open pit methods wherever the coal strata strike the surface and is relatively shallow.
