It maps out an array of broad new trade patterns likely to emerge between the industrial and developing worlds as coal moves into greater use. International trade in coal, which already exceeds $10 billion annually, should surge by anywhere from ten to 15 times during the next 20 years, with nearly 40% of all coal exports coming from the U.S. Among the major projected customers...
