Soft coal does not necessarily contain more sulfur. Witness how Montana and Wyoming coal is low in sulfur. Also, I am relatively certain that anthracite coal is focused in the east. We must also define soft and hard. Antrhacite coal (real hard coal) is more for metallurgical purposes. "Major reserves The largest fields of anthracite coal in the United States are found in Northeastern Pennsylvania called the Coal Region, where there are 7 billion short tons (6.3 billion tonnes) of minable reserves. Deposits at Crested Butte, Colorado were mined historically. Anthracites of newer, tertiary or cretaceous age, are found in the Crow's Nest part of the Rocky Mountains in Canada, and at various points in the Andes in Peru. Bob
