Coal production statistics from the US Department of Energy indicate that in 2007, the US produced (and presumably burned) 1.146 billion tons of coal. China produces and burns slightly more.
Coal isn't used all that much anymore. but some of the top mining areas in the US are PA, WV, Kentucky, VA, ND, and Wyoming.

It was predicted that our coal resources will last for around 250 years more. I am reluctant to agree with this statement though. Our oil reserves are expected to run out within the next 50 years if technology does not advance enough to give us alternatives. When this happens, our coal consumption will rise and exhaust the reserves much sooner than predicted.
