Now, if we can just find a way to burn it cleanly. Of course we won't since Solar is where the jobs are. All the stats support this, Energy Dept, BLS, etc.

Some numbers; coal elec generation employed under 90000 last year, 58000 miners; while over 365000 are now employed in Solar. And Wind Energy is ballooning!
Hard imagining the resurrection of coal per demand, shale gas, automation and yes........Obama regulations.

Coal miners need to be retrained into the solar and natural gas fields.
