There are two reasons for the cost of coal to rise. First, inflation causes the cost of everything to rise. Secondly, in mining, you extract the easiest deposits first, and as they are exhausted, you mine the more difficult deposits, which cost more to extract. People have mined coal for thousands of years, and we are gradually going deeper and deeper.
