Shudder... I hope we dont have to go there....and I dont think we will. Having as much coal as we do, one would hope that we will also direct as much financial assistance as possible towards cleaning up the filthy output of it's burning and slow down the selling of it and natural gas to those who use it to make cheap crapp and sell it back to us. That way we can stay nuclear free and be self sufficient in power production.

Nope.
China uses about 2/3rd's fossil fuel for electricity:

and we're givin' a lot of it to 'em (China), to burn.

The halogens can at least provide light where it's needed, whereas the fluro is generally in the centre of the room. This creates shadows where they're not wanted.

China's been building coal fired power stations for quite a while now.

** Don't you believe it, it's all part of a elaborate ploy -the Chinese have a far more insidious purpose for black coal.
Believe it or not - they have figured out how to convert the
black stuff into high quality DIAMONDS !!
All the Sou-Fafricans are having kittens ...........
Soon as the Chinese perfect conversion of lead into gold
in one of their a nuclear reactors -
the MASSIVE diamond ring business is ALL THEIRS !!

"China is presently the world's greatest coal producer and accounts for about 30% of the world's total annual coal production. China is also the world's greatest coal consumer, accounting for more than 28% of the world's total annual coal consumption."
China exports coal. Any coal to China from Australia is typically of very high quality and with specific characterics .
and
If you review the last link you will see that Aust exports approx 45% of exported coal to Japan, China takes less then 10% of our coal of which approx 50% is used as Metallurgical Coal and approx 50% as very high quality Thermal Coal. Australia produces less then 7% of the worlds yearly coal production.
Pity the same can't be said about their products.

Used to be, but they started the trend to be cheaper and nastier and export local jobs.
