That being said, what is the argument for coal?

---

1) It is very easy to transport in large quantities via rail or ship without the risk of a hazardous spill or explosion.

2) It is the cheapest and most efficient fuel for electrical generation.

3) The U.S. has 25% of the world's proven deposits of coal which equates to more than a 200 year supply of coal for our electrical generation needs based on current usage. It definitely provides the U.S. with a competitive advantage for cheap power generation.
