Like it or not coal is cheap, And readily available. Which translates into affordable energy. If we stopped using coal only the rich could afford power. Until it gets more expensive than alternative power sources be thankful that we have coal.

There is a day coming that affordable energy sources will be scarce unless money somehow becomes obsolete.
