Analysis by: Thomas Shewski, Owner,Coal Prices Crumble | www.forbes.com
Both steam and metallurgical coal demand are down. United States steam coal (for electricity generation) is down due to the economic slump affecting industrial demand and switching to cheaper natural gas-fired electricity generation in some areas of the nation. Metallurgical coal demand is down due to the crushing drop in steel production domestically and globally. Although coal demand is down significantly, it does not necessarily allow coal under contract to be excused for purchase.

Many proposals have been floated in Congress (one of which is linked here) to limit these emissions. If any of these proposals were to pass and become law, it will have significant impact on electricity generation.
