The US has built just one new coal power plant in the last five years (a tiny one in Alaska). Coal is not the status quo; coal is collapsing here. Neither nuclear nor coal is the way forward.

Granted. However, even in the poorer countries coal is struggling. Look at India -- there is great risk of stranded coal assets there as solar crashes the price of electricity.
