Coal

China has been aggressively pursuing its own coal supplies, and
. . . as a result the exports to China that coal companies were counting on
. . . have been drying up,
. . . putting coal stocks in a very tough situation.

With Natural gas prices remaining at extremely low prices,
. . . people are opting to go with the cleaner burning natural gas as opposed to coal.

During recent warm, dry summers,
. . . several Nuclear and Fossil-Fueled generating plants
. . . in Europe and the southeastern United States
. . . were forced to reduce production owing to cooling-water scarcity.

The entire industry is in serious trouble.
