since Obama took office. Domestic coal demand is down because of gas, but exports are up. The part I don't get about environmentalists is
they would like to see all our coal fired power plants shut down. The thing of it is instead of useing the coal here where we have regulations
it is still being burned in other countries with no regulations. So in reality there is more polution going into the air.
