Some power plants are even being converted to natural gas due to cheap, abundant natural gas. FIFY.
And that would be a lie. They are converting due to EPA regulations. Coal is very cheap if you get the govt out of the way.

Actually it's a fact...the regs are just the last few shovels of dirt on the grave. The only problem is gas prices are more susceptible to volatility and if we start using more for things other than power gen and start exporting I do think there will be some price pressure and the regs will them be problematic.
Now where did you get your info that exporting gas is cheaper than exporting coal?

Only if you remove all emissions controls completely, which even if you don't believe in global warming would be disasterous. Have you ever seen the pictures of the sky in Industrial areas in the 1950s in the US or the UK or China now-- that's what happens when you allow unregulated coal burning it degrades air quality leads to lower quality of life through things like asthma and other respiratory illnesses and sometimes deaths. Oh and the whole acid rain thing (why we in the US buy low Sulfur coal and send the cheaper stuff to China).
