Asian steel stokes coal boom
Supply problems have plagued not only coking coal - a metallurgical coal used to make steel - but also thermal coal, or "steam coal," used to produce electricity.

"That is what is triggering the very high prices," said Patricia Mohr, vice-president and commodity market specialist at Bank of Nova Scotia.

1. The good news is that with increasing coal prices the price of american made thin film solar is good
Therefore small communities will go ahead and start the process which will hopefully ease pressure on the grid.
