Calculates how long coal will last in the USA given various assumed rates
of growth in consumption. This Applet should help debunk a big
"true lie" that the coal lobby has been telling. They say
there is enough coal to last 200 years. This is true *only* if consumption
stays absolutely flat, not even increasing to account for additional
population. This is not very likely to happen.
