Proven reserves of coal worldwide exceed one trillion tonnes (i.e. 1 x 1012 t). This is enough coal to last almost 220 years at current rates of consumption. In comparison, current reserves of oil are projected to run out in just over 40 years and natural gas reserves are projected to last a further 70 years.

We simply have no need for gasoline or coal whatsoever.
