If America introduces federal controls on carbon dioxide, coal will be penalised.
In the efforts to reduce humanity's emissions of carbon dioxide, now nearing 30 billion metric tons a year, most of the attention so far has focused on large stationary sources, like power plants where, conceptually at least, one could imagine a shift from fuels that emit carbon dioxide — coal and natural gas — to those that do not — nuclear, solar and wind.
And their share of carbon dioxide coal emissions would come to 77 tons".

This means that scientists will have to figure out a way to capture carbon dioxide from coal plants, or coal will have to be replaced with cleaner fuels.
Burning gas produces about half the carbon dioxide of coal so switching from coal to gas has helped the UK to one of the most impressive emissions-cutting records of any country over the past 20 years.
Burning gas emits half as much carbon dioxide as coal; so where gas substitutes for coal, emissions will fall.
Natural gas emits about half as much carbon dioxide as coal when it burns, making it an appealing alternative to coal for generating electric power.
Natural gas releases less carbon dioxide than coal when burned, making it an attractive alternative to coal-fired electricity production.
In the United States, old coal-fired power plants are closing, the price of natural gas (which emits only half the carbon dioxide of coal) is dropping, and automobiles are becoming more efficient.
