This chart describes the relationship between coal and electric power generation. 

	
                        % of electric plants
type of fuel		powered by this source			
					
Coal 		       54.00%			
Nuclear	        22.00%			
Natural gas	       13.00%			
Renewable		9.00%			
Petroleum		3.00%			
		      101.00%	rounding error somewhere


My conclusion is coal is needed for electric power generation. Also, electric power
is intergal to modern American life, so all supply links are intergal. Railroads,
railcars, barges, trucks, coal mines are all supply links.
