Not for a long time.
Some areas which have stopped mining coal for various reasons still have millions of tons underground which can be accessed using more modern methods to extract the fuel without sending men underground.
Yes, coal is a finite resource that is nonrenewable. This means that there is a limited supply of coal in the earth's crust, and it is being depleted as it is extracted and used.
Approximately 23% of the US energy supply comes from coal.
The global supply of coal is estimated to last for several hundred years, depending on consumption rates and reserves. However, the shift towards renewable energy sources and increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions may impact the long-term demand for coal.
If coal were to run out, approximately 30% of the global energy supply would be lost, as coal currently accounts for around 30% of global electricity generation. This loss would necessitate a shift towards other energy sources such as renewables, natural gas, and nuclear power to fill the gap left by coal.
Approximately 60% of China's total energy supply comes from burning coal, making it the largest coal consumer and producer in the world. This heavy reliance on coal has raised environmental concerns due to the significant emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants associated with coal combustion.
coal - 67 years gas -50 - 60 years
It will run out, but there is still enough supply to last over 100 years I believe which means that it really isn't a problem yet. However, we should already be converting to cleaner methods of power and electricity over coal.
It is likely that the world's petrol supply will run out. There are limited resources and if people keep using them up, without thoughts of conservation they could very well run out.

Russia has the largest coal reserves in the world. It has 1 third of the worlds coal reserves.
Especially provides supply for the electrical plants.

Yes, coal is a non-renewable resource.
No he plans on giving $10 Billion to the discovery of new and better fuels. This includes clean coal. Coal that doesnt harm the envirnment as much. This would probably increase the amount of coal used in this country. Actually coal accounts for almost 40% of the US carbon emissions footprint. Even if the expensive and unproven clean coal technology comes through, we only have a 100 year supply of coal in the US. It will not open up jobs and will cause asthma and might cause toxins to run into our underground water supply.
They run on coal :)
