Charlie et al -
IIRC, there's not a war on coal
per se, but on the building of coal-fired power plants that don't take advantage of existing technology to minimize atmospheric pollution. Most of the energy reports I've read in the past fifteen years predict we will reach - or have already reached - the peak of oil production, and humanity will have to rely on coal and natural gas to maintain our economy until more efficient methods for utilizing renewable energy are developed and deployed.
