Speaking of coal.. several years ago I got to tour a coal fired electric generating plant. I was impressed how the coal is burned. The coal was ground down to a talcum powder consistency then blown it a hugh "firebox" through big burners about 3' in diameter.

Then burn the coal we have and quit using trucks so much. I think there's a lot that can be done, but the govn't stands in the way- as with coal oil too.
