Gold Member BOHICA Posted July 16, 2017 Gold Member Share Posted July 16, 2017 Following through on promises!!! Us coal production ramping up after years of an assault by Obama. Top source for charging electric cars this year is coal so far. https://www.williamsondailynews.com/news/coal-projected-to-be-top-power-source/article_6bce7816-8dd5-52f9-a912-8be0977bffb1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coal production is up so far in 2017 It is, metallurgical coal is leading that uptick. Trump's pro coal policies certainly will not hurt coal but the glory days of coal are in the past and the reason for that is because of the abundance of NG.

Coal is the leading product used for the production of electricity now and will continue to to be for a while, but the fact of the matter is it's role is being diminished. Quote JAN 10, 2017 @ 10:27 AM 13,105 2 FREE Issues of Forbes Natural Gas Is The Future Of Energy, And It's Not Even Close James Taylor , CONTRIBUTOR I am president of the Spark of Freedom Foundation. Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Natural gas is the wave of the future in U.S. and global electricity production, with no other power source even close to matching natural gas’s potential over the next few decades. The United States is in perfect position to take advantage of this if American policymakers will remove government obstacles to natural gas production and export. Michael Bastach points out in the Daily Caller that coal is likely to maintain its status as the global leader of electricity production through 2040. The reason for this is most countries – and especially rapidly developing countries – will continue to take advantage of the least expensive available power source. That energy source is coal. However, a closer look at the numbers Bastach cites – taken from the ExxonMobil 2017 Outlook for Energy – shows that while coal will remain the leading power source, its share of global electricity production will fall from 40 percent today to 30 percent in 2030. This is because there is growing pressure in many countries to put the brakes on debilitating air pollution. That is where natural gas comes in. The Outlook for Energy anticipates dramatic growth in global electricity production, with natural gas providing the lion’s share of that growth. Coal will remain king, but it will lose substantial market share to natural gas. Natural gas is an on-demand energy source that substantially reduces air pollution relative to coal. The Outlook for Energy projects a 45 percent increase in global natural gas production and use by 2040. Also, although the Outlook for Energy projects coal will hold a narrow edge over natural gas in terms of electricity production, natural gas will surpass coal by 2040 in terms of all energy uses combined. Coal is more confined to electricity production, whereas natural gas is valuable in a wider range of energy uses. In the United States, natural gas is cost-competitive with coal. The global market is a different story. Natural gas has gained cost parity with coal in the United States because of our abundant natural gas resources and technological advances related to fracking. Globally, however, natural gas is not as abundant, nor are fracking technologies and production infrastructure on a par with those in the United States. The anticipated growth in global natural gas power is tied to its value reducing air pollution rather than an anticipated cost parity with coal. Even though American energy companies can produce natural gas more cost-effectively than other nations, the ability of American energy companies to export natural gas is currently limited. Our federal government and politically blue coastal states foolishly impede the construction of natural gas export facilities. Build export facilities and American companies will be able to take advantage of the projected increase in global natural gas usage. Exporting natural gas will not come at the expense of American coal production or American coal jobs. China currently produces four times as much coal as America. Also, Australia, Indonesia, and Russia each dwarf America in terms of coal exports. Rather than American natural gas exports cannibalizing American coal exports, American natural gas exports will supplant Chinese, Australian, Indonesian, and Russian coal. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamestaylor/2017/01/10/natural-gas-is-the-future-of-energy-and-its-not-even-close/#564a54ae64ae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted July 17, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 17, 2017 With the big push to increase EV's market share and slow or stop the internal combustion engines sales in cars and trucks they really need to implement different ways to make electricity. Simply plugging into a wall to charge your vehicle while simultaneously bitching about coal France already plans to stop sales of gas and diesel cars by 2040.
