Abstract: The Chinese coal production is in a period of continuous optimization and adjustment, the coal price becomes more and more stable, coal mining has gradually entered a green, safe, efficient and orderly state, and coal utilization is also turning to a clean and low-carbon direction. Through the analysis of domestic energy production structure, thermal coal price index, mining industry wages and scientific research direction in recent 10 years, it is shown that the proportion of coal in national energy will be further reduced, but it will still be the main energy, while the oil, natural gas and other carbon-free energies including hydroelectric, wind power, nuclear power become equally important. The coal development process pays more attention to green mining and social responsibility, and the coal industry has low treatment. Therefore, it is reasonable to establish a competitive and orderly coal market as soon as possible, so as to make the coal industry become an industry desired by talents.
