Coal

Calculates how long coal will last in the USA depending on consumption growth.

Calculates how long coal will last in the USA given various assumed rates of growth in consumption. This Applet should help debunk a big "true lie" that the coal lobby has been telling. They say there is enough coal to last 200 years. This is true *only* if consumption stays absolutely flat, not even increasing to account for additional population. This is not very likely to happen.
