My brother retired last year from one of the biggest coal companies in the US. Their coal was and will be all going to China as fast as they can mine it. At the time of his retirement they still had 20 years left on a contract to supply electric power plants there. Years ago our family was in the strip mining business and every pound of it went to Japan. They use our energy to produce products they sell to us, like wind mills and solar panels. We elect them and we then pay the price. ICEs will go this century as horses went in the last. I don't like it, but that is the way it is. America is only a small part of this earth and as long as India, China, and many others continue to burn coal the air will never clean up.
