Coal Prices

By: Garrett

Coal prices are rising, and because of these prices, electricity prices are rising. The United States has an abundance of coal but global factors are stoking demand. China has had many snowstorms so that cut production. Heavy rains also flooded Australian mines. Australia is the largest exporter of coal. Since both China and India have booming economies the world's demand for coal has increased, leading to higher prices in coal.
