Coal Report worth reading


Report by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) on why coal will keep burning? is an interesting read.
Takeaways from the report:
  • Coal is very much integrated in the economic structure of world economy
  • Replacing coal is a distant dream i.e. it will take another 40 years
  • Coal powered plant has long life I.e. 60 years approx. and many have long years left
  • Stopping coal powered plant can effect employment which is a political issue
  • Fukushima nuclear disaster stops fast progress in Nuclear powered electricity
  • Poor countries / under developed countries cannot afford nuclear backed / renewable energy

In other words the report clearly states Coal will remain integrated for few more decades before waning out
