The largest coal mine in the US employs around ~1,300 people and outputs around 100 million tons of coal per year. Meaning if we ignore economies of scale and pretend like we're expanding the output of this mine another 4.8 million tons per year, then the additional human labor needed at that plant is 4.8%. 63 jobs. But more realistically the plant would just buy more machines and acquire more land. |
