The US Energy Information Administration currently estimates that we have approximately 473 Billion tons of recoverable coal in the United States. This is nearly half the known reserves in the entire world and over 500 years worth at current consumption rates. Villainizing coal is about devaluing the United States energy reserves not saving the planet.
