    I see no valid excuse to slash the use of coal.

    I mean we lead the world in our supply of coal.

    See also: List of countries by Coal Reserves


    There are 1,139,471 tons (short tons, st) of proven coal reserves in the world as of 2016.

    The world has proven reserves equivalent to 133.1 times its annual consumption. This means it has about 133 years of coal left (at current consumption levels and excluding unproven reserves).

    Snowflakes think coal is dirty because it's black. Snowflakes a pure white and coal is midnight black. That's all you need to know about that.

    The Chinese burn more CO2 polluting coal in a day than the rest of the world does in months. But they get a pass because they own the Disney channel and CNN and the Hollywood streaming market.

    Funny how that worked out isn't it?
