Coal Bridge To The Future PDF Download

The 1980 final report of the World Coal Study directed by Professor Carroll L. Wilson of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to the United States Congress. The World Coal Study presents a strong case for coal -- a case agreed to by leaders from industry, research, and government in 16 major coal-using and coal-producing countries. It offers an option which is timely, economic, plentiful and environmentally acceptable. We need to know a lot more about coal -- about its real costs, its transportability, its availability, and the adequacy of the environmental controls on its use. We need to know of its possible role in settling a very unsettled international oil market. And we need to know where the bottlenecks are: What needs to be done, or undone, to build a sturdy and dependable coal bridge.
