> That's exactly my point: we're going to keep mining coal,... I wouldn't bet on that. The use of coal just in the last 4 years has gone down 20%! And there is no reason to think it won't go down drastically more. No reason to keep mining it if no one wants it.
As our use dwindles, the "low cost" of coal due to declining scale will go up, providing further negative feedback to continued mining. Sure there will be some coal always needed, but I bet it will be below 5% of what we are using now.
