Their industrial capacity is booming way ahead of their energy production curve. Their mine safety standards are abysmal and they kill off hundreds of miners every year. Without forced labor it would seem unlikely they could actually grow the coal capacity much more without major safety code revisions. This may actually happen due to recent major accidents.
