    Ok, who is saying China has no coal left?

    Youse shud no that !!

    And of course you realise, being the educated person you are, that there are 1,440 million (1.4 billion) people in China compared to 337 million in the USA, 146 million in Russia and 25 million in Australia.
    So China's reserves aren't going to hold up for as long as the other countries.
    I suspect that without importation of high quality coal into China then maybe there is a risk to the population.
    The obvious inference imho is if China has the highest coal production, why doesn't it have the largest reserve.
    Because
    China Coal Summary Table
    Coal Reserves 149,818,259,000.4th in the world
    Coal Production 3,708,155,408 1st in the world
    Coal Consumption 4,319,921,826 1st in the world
    Yearly Deficit -(611,766,418)
    Coal Imports 281,754,534
    Coal Exports 9,532,676
    Net Imports 272,221,858

    But anyway it really is a moot point as coal will not be the fuel of the future.
