Hi everyone,

Just wanted to draw your attention to a great article in NatGeo: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/09/100908-energy-peak-coal/

It was also covered by the Charleston Gazette's Ken Ward in his Coal Tattoo blog: http://blogs.wvgazette.com/coaltattoo/2010/09/10/peak-coal-coming-even-s...

Understanding the finite nature of coal reserves is vital to advancing a transition conversation, so I'm glad to see this kind of questioning of conventional wisdom that coal will be powering our electric grid for decades to come.

For more on transition in the Appalachian region in particular, please visit our website www.appalachiantransition.org -- we really welcome your feedback and thoughts!

Cheers,
Kristin
