Don't think so.
1. The USA consumes about 1.0 *billion* tons of coal per year
2. The USA is the second biggest exporter in the world at 48 million
tons/year
3. Coal is the fastest growing energy source in the world, with coal use
increasing by 25% in the three years ending in 2004

No brainer. Everybody wants everyone to buy whatever they are selling.
Including you.
>although America holds 3/4 of the worlds coal,
Wrong again. The United States holds closer to 25% or 1/4 of the proved
recoverable "worlds" reserve of Bitumious, Sub-Bitumious, and Lignite coals

Again, untrue.
1. There are 385 gasifiers in use in 177 projects in 27 nations as of 2004
2. Dozens of projects are under design and construction in the United States
alone.

But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of your propagandist spew.
