Coal consumption is projected to be steady through 2016 and then is expected to INCREASE. Using existing plants, material produced by $VCOR provides a more energy dense fuel.


"Total coal consumption increases from 17.3 quadrillion Btu (891 MMst) in 2012 to 18.7 quadrillion Btu (979 MMst) in 2040 in the AEO2014 Reference case. Coal consumption, mostly for electric power generation, falls off in 2016, the first year of the MATS. After 2016, coal-fired electricity generation increases slowly over the next 10 years as the remaining coal-fired capacity is used more intensively, but little capacity is added. Coal consumption in the electric power sector in 2040 is 17.3 quadrillion Btu (909 MMst) in the AEO2014 Reference case. This level is about 1.4 quadrillion Btu (75 MMst) lower than in the AEO2013 Reference case. No coal is consumed for CTL technology in the AEO2014 Reference case."

Glad I could clear that up for you
