Who says the coke industry is dead in the U.S.?! A completely new coke oven operation (2011) has recently opened in Granite City, IL just across from the United States Steel Granite City Works.
Just wanted to add one thing..I worked at the largest coke plant in the country..and it had to deal with epa all the time while chinese coke didnt..it cost $125 per ton to make coke in USA and China sold it here including shipping costs for $85 per ton...China has no EPA or OSHA type organizations..go live there if u hate coal/coke

Also, I don't think China doesn't have labor unions. So, there's that too.
anyone posting negative comments, do you own a car or anything else made primarily of steel? How do you think that steel gets produced? It is impossible to produce steel from iron ore without coke...oh maybe you have no idea how steel is made..it just appears out of thin air..
To any negative comments regarding steel and coke plants. We (steel makers) help build this country and keep its wheels going. We've supplied steel for most stuff you buy. Be thankful for what we do for you. If you don't like the pollution, move to another country. Try China. They virtually have 0 restrictions on pollution. Then come crawling back to the U.S.A. and be grateful.
DIRTY, FILTHY COAL. Leave it in the ground and destroy all of the coke and steel plants in the country. Go to school, get new training and find another job already. Quit complaining about Obama and EPA. We don't need this cancer causing pollution in our country.
well since this coke plant is shut down, now some polar bears will have more ice to shit on. oh wait thats not true because this coke plants slack will be picked up by another plant in china or india where there is zero pollution control and they pollute 1000 times worse than we ever did!!!! LOL i love left wing thinking
@angusnra Sorry ......... We for sure need to shut down Obama and his EPA henchmen before they shut the country down for good. all we can do is keep hope that the next generation of people, my generation will realize the importance of heavy manufacturing and the insane radical policies of the epa. Trust me Im doing all I can. I already changed the minds of a few people.

Nice slide show.
We can all thank obama with his 'new' EPA for shutting us down.
The fucker hates coal, that's for sure.
