  • Expert: Coal Reserve Estimates Way Too High [View article]
    production in england & ukraine over the years has depleted much of the best quality resources, causing mine closures.

    in the late 1940's, the coal business was told by the u.s government to go out of business, all electric generation would be nuclear. admiral lewis strauss said that nuclear electricity would be too cheap to meter, we would just give it away. exploration for new resources stopped as a result.

    production in iowa peaked in 1916 & went down ever since, at 8.5% sulfur it's hard to find markets for it. there's still a lot left.

    much coal remains in the ground. in places like antarctica, extraction cost will be troublesome.
