as I said before, coal is back in play soon, much sooner than you'd think:
Although coal power generations should decline in the United States, dramatic increases are set to occur in non-OECD Asian countries, primarily India and China. China will double its coal-fired power generation capacity between now and 2035.

Coal use in China's industrial sector will be up by 67 percent over the same time period.
India's power generation will rise 72 percent between 2008 and 2035, as its industrial sector use will increase by 94 percent.
