Coal will help make economic progress possible in emerging nations

摘要

Coal will help lift up developing nations, Don Blankenship, chief executive officer at Massey Energy, said at the Met Coke World Summit in Philadelphia. "Coal will continue to be the fuel of choice driven by electricity generation and industrial demand, mainly in developing countries," Blankenship sajd. "It is the fuel of the present and the future. Access to electricity improves quality of life and leads to a longer life expectancy. It's strange that idea hasn't caught on."
