It's true we're operating in a landscape of digital information overload. But in the insular sustainability industry, would it really kill these Grist authors to crosscheck their article triumphantly proclaiming a 'dimming outlook' for coal in the US with this article from the Times circa a month ago?
FYI here's the gem of bad news:
"Traditionally, coal is burned near where it is mined -- particularly so-called thermal or steaming coal, used for heat and electricity. But in the last few years, long-distance international coal exports have been surging because of China's galloping economy, which now burns half of the six billion tons of coal used globally each year."
