Good point DewDiligence.

The US may reduce coal, but will the rest of the world? I doubt that the third world countries will go along. But clearly "Green" energy may get a boost.

Shipping coal to China?

It seems possible that China may buy our coal. There are many two year old China/coal stories, none saying anything has changed>>>

So, maybe shipping companies is the way th play this? Well, they are in a slump, but maybe that is a time to buy?

But, enter a China deal with a private ship builder to compete with the public companies--BOO>>>

So, I just talked myself out of buying shipping stocks that ship coal, LOL. But, maybe I will find something. I see nothing exciting in the shipping stocks mentioned.

These shipping stocks may have good bounces, and maybe one will ship more coal, but I can think of more exciting things to invest in the area of natural resources. Such as a couple of "Green" ETFs that had nice bounces today and interesting volume.
