I live in a coal-producing area, and I agree with all of your points and I can't wait for the coal industry to be a thing of the past. However, coal is still best for making steel. The amount of coal that we need for producing steel is miniscule compared to the amount that is being mined for energy, but as long as we need steel, we will need at least some coal to produce it economically.
