The United States coal reserves are massive. Proven reserves are enough to last 200 to 250 years at current rates of consumption. Proven reserves are probably only 50-60% of actual technically recoverable reserves. There has been debate on the issue however the majority of experts are pretty well in agreement. The raw number is 275,000,000,000 Tons of proven coal.

How long will the World coal reserves last?

It was predicted that our coal resources will last for around 250 years more. I am reluctant to agree with this statement though. Our oil reserves are expected to run out within the next 50 years if technology does not advance enough to give us alternatives. When this happens, our coal consumption will rise and exhaust the reserves much sooner than predicted.
