we'll find an alternate fuel sourcevto use before that happens. However, that doesn't mean coal wont' still be used in some places and for certain sources because it still is a valuable resource. Keeping coal around for as long as possible is a bad idea do to its high pollution rates. So, when you look at it, the longer we have coal, the more a planet (and the people) will suffer.

How easy is it to obtain coal?
It all depends on the location. Coal is held between layers of rock, in bands. Over the millions of years these bands can get bent and twisted by the movement of the earths crust. In some places the seam of coal is exposed on the surface, all you have to do is pick it up. Most places where this is possible, have already been used by people in the area. Early coal mining underground, was probably due to following a surface seam of coal as it dipped below the surface. Open seams of coal also happen underwater and it is possible to dredge it up.
