>> On the other hand, a sustained high growth in demand for electricity seems to imply either accelerated global warming (California air conditioners running full time and unemployed tech geeks scrounging for returnable soda bottles to pay the bill;-) or continuing economic growth (Aluminum smelters and auto assembly lines running, and home PCs humming). << i don't understand what you mean by on the other hand. it sounds like both points you made were bullish for energy demand. my reasons for liking coal are not very esoteric. 1) i believe energy prices will remain high in the coming years. coal is the cheapest (although not cleanest) so it will continue to make up a significant portion. 2) alternative technologies such as wind/solar/nuclear/fuel cell etc are just not being adopted fast enough to make a dent. 3) we have a president who seems to be in favor of coal use.
