Well, harrumph!

Question is how much coal of their own do they have and can they access it? May well be importing American coal for years to come, provided Obambi and his merry band of thieves don’t deny it to them for the Greenies’ sake.

(Thank you for the Odetta.) :o)

"Question is how much coal of their own do they have and can they access it?"

Communist China is the largest coal producer in the world, 2007 - 2.62 billion short tons.

"Red China is 3rd in the world in terms of total coal reserves behind the United States and Russia. Most reserves are located in the north and north-west of the country, which poses a large logistical problem for supplying electricity to the more heavily populated coastal areas."

77% of Red China's electricity is generated by coal.
