Like the VHS and typewriters, coal is obsolete
Across all dimensions — fuel production, transportation, combustion and environmental impact — coal technology has been surpassed by natural gas and renewable electricity systems. The government can no more reverse this situation than convince people to buy tube TVs.
Coal is dying in America, the victim of obsolescence and development of more efficient, less polluting technologies. It's time to let it go.
