Low rank fuels like coal should generate our electrical power.

We have over 300 year’s worth of recoverable coal and the complete mechanism for turning it into electricity.

...

When we run out of natural gas we’ll have economical means to convert coal into natural gas, or we’ll have other means of energy production.

So it would be better to convert a high rank fuel like gas into medium rank power, delivered by transmission lines ?

It would be more logical to convert a low rank, hard to use fuel (coal) into a improved asset like electricity.

My point of view, anyway.
