Coal for power = dated, dirty and pricey. Coal for products = good idea.
Trump and @SecretaryWright are pushing coal for grid reliability. But 50 years of policy meddling teaches that government efforts to prop up coal for energy don't work well. But coal for products? That's appealing. @ASMEdotorg.
