Really??
And what criminal code is burning coal in violation of?
Please cite the specific law prohibiting the burning of coal.
I'm waiting, ohh there is NO law prohibiting the burning of coal. There are plenty of regulations regarding the burning of coal, but just because you don't like it, it is NOT CRIMINAL.

Though specifically Riki is incorrect, with what seems to be inevitable is that the carbon footprint of coal, in light of the general acceptance that CO2 is a strong contributor to climate change, is too great to be an acceptably affordable fuel in the relatively near future.
Coal users are positioning themselves to depend on less coal for power. Unless CO2 gets off the polutant list, it will be phased out fairly soon.
