Almost every difficulty (or worse) has a silver lining, not always readily apparent. Coal has to die and if the pandemic is helping to kill it, that's our silver lining.

there will be a need for coal. Fortunately, the glory days of coal being used for everything including central heating are over. I say this as someone who grew up with coal central heat and the air was often unbearably thick and foul.
