Good catch. The numbers in that news story did seem pretty dramatic. Even if it is not a 99.9 % drop, a 90 % drop should be a warning to our state leaders.

There appear to be a couple misplaced zeroes here. Peabody stock was more than $100 in 2011 (not $1,000), and Arch Coal stock was between $300-$400 in 2011 (not $3,600). But the drop is still dramatic- a more than 99 percent drop in stock price for Arch- more than 90 percent in the last year alone. As Merle Haggard sang, "...... like a snowball headed for hell."

Stock in Peabody coal was selling for over $1000 per share in 2011, not it is at $13.00
Arch Coal was at $3600 in 2011, now it is at $1.50.

Climate policies make a rebound for coal unlikely.
