| #6 I remember very well going driving two days to visit my grandmother's apartment complex on the N. side of Chi-Town and getting filthy playing under the coal shoot, plus trying to shovel the coal in the furnace. The USA has more coal reserves than any nation on earth (up to 250 years of reserves at today's production rates), while the Middle East has the most oil & natural gas reserves.  The website with this chart states: Production trend is up - - 2003 was 64% over 1975 (compared to 31% population increase).. USA produces 28% of world coal production and consumes 26% of world consumption. |

| #5 Coal? hell I can't afford anything strong enough to burn coal. What is this work you speak of? My state is controled by democrats. They have killed of all the jobs I can do and regulated the private sector so heavly I can't even create my own. I have a propane heater in the living room and hope it heats the whole house. |

| #4 Coal? Many wish they were as well now. The majority in the Northeast use natural gas, heating oil & a minority with wood. Very few can walk to work. |
