Post Carbon Senior Fellow Richard Heinberg's work on coal depletion was cited in this article on the many questions being raised about so called 'clean coal'.
From the article:
Other analysts see a larger role for efficiency and renewable energy that would lead to a phaseout of coal.
Higher costs for coal in the future also could change the cost calculations for carbon capture and storage, said Richard Heinberg, a senior fellow at the Post Carbon Institute, a group that advocates the end of fossil fuel use. High-quality and cheap coal in the U.S. is being used up, and so coal prices will be two to five times higher in 20 years, he said.
