Friends of Coal is a front group created by the West Virginia Coal Association, which registered the group's domain name in October 2002. (The domain name was registered by Jim LeFew, a spokesman for the association at the time).[1]

Friends of Coal describes itself as being "dedicated to inform and educate West Virginia citizens about the coal industry and its vital role in the state's future. Our goal is to provide a united voice for an industry that has been and remains a critical economic contributor to West Virginia. By working together, we can provide good jobs and benefits for future generations, which will keep our children and grandchildren close to home."[2]

On its website the group states that membership is free.[2]
