Utility companies have let coal stocks dwindle and are buying less fuel after Beijing froze power prices last year, while allowing the market-set costs producers pay to rise. Sounds exactly like CA during the Davis era power crisis.

In Utah. Ask Slick Willie about that. And his friend James Riady.

Plenty. But we're not allowed to extract it.

We have more coal than the Middle East has oil. But alas, we aren’t able to touch it.

That's what I first thought. We could wipe out our trade deficit with China almost overnight.
