I don’t think it’s clear if the 32 billion figure referred to total or recoverable tonnage. 62 billion tons is still larger than 32 billion, recoverable or not.

There, a massive strip-mine operation reaches into 32 billion tons of coal buried just a few feet below the surface. That coal has even been marketed as Envirocoal to stress its value.

But getting back to the point, we see this constant blocking of economical energy sources. Solar and wind are fine ideas but I’ve seen those ideas worked on for at least 30 years and we still don’t have an economical and reliable source of renewable energy. Pie in the sky green politics is driving up costs that hit the poorest among us the hardest.
We should have gone nuclear years ago but that was shut down by the same breed of green weenies that are blocking cost effective energy today. Their current policies could likely end up to be as big of a mistake as their policies proved to be 30 years ago.
