U.S. Future in Coal Burns Bright
How much of that demand reduction comes from less electricity use? The rule of thumb estimate of coal use for a power plant in 4000 tons of coal a year for each kilowatt the plant is rated for. As coal plants are base load producers, they have a predictable demand on energy once they are built that continues year after year.
Since India and China struggling to meet electrical demands right now, and the supply has along way to go to satisfy demand, (For example, for every American who enjoys electrical power in their home, there is one Indian and two Chinese who do not.) how much demand destruction do you envision?

Why Do Oil Prices Keep Rising?
Not until we get over climate change hysteria. It may take a little load shedding in the present to nullify the concerns of a few degrees warmer a generation or two in the future. Only when Americans see that the choice is between actual prosperity or feel good environmentalism will we be able to build power plants, transmission lines and refineries.
Too bad we couldn't find a presidential candidate that would stand up to the crazies. Sigh.
