Description
Summary:The National Coal Association, one of the US' oldest industry associations, has been seeking to elevate energy independence as a goal and a policy for the US and its allies. To former allies and adversaries alike, the US has offered membership in a "brotherhood of nations" based on economic recovery support, trade, and mutual security. Oil dependence threatens the Western World; yet, most nations follow policies that treat basic energy as just another market item. The stability of US coalfields cannot be threatened by a local war, and no outside power or cartel can be formed to manipulate coal. The coal industry has the resource base, capacity, and desire to help free the US and its allies from dependence on unstable sources of energy. The clean coal technology efforts to both the US and Japan need to be carefully coordinated.
