Coal Has Not Been the Future in Over 100 Years
Coal production peaked in the U.S. prior to World War, while coal market capitalization has almost completely collapsed in recent years.
The stats on employment in coal are much more dramatic. When the industry moved from underground to strip mining employment crashed. There were 798,000 miners in 1923, contrast 80,000 in 2013.
