COAL BLOODED • COAL BLOODED highlight the decline of coal, in the U.S., and detail the billions of investments being made by U.S. utilities into renewable energy sources. • COAL BLOODED will be available, for free, on Amazon, from May 5, through May 9. Afterwards, COAL BLOODED will be available on Amazon, for 99 cents • Developed by Vincent J. Lentini

  2. COAL BLOODED MAJOR TOPICS • Coal’s decline in the U.S. • Clean coal • Coal thriving internationally • The Shale Gas Revolution • Major U.S legislation passed to reduce pollution • Major U.S. Utilities investing billions into natural gas and renewable energy sources

  3. The 5 Largest Coal Consumers Globally • China • United States • India • Russia • Japan

  4. The Decline In Coal Has Been Caused By Several Factors, Some Of Which Include: • The low price of natural gas driven by the Shale Gas Revolution • Tougher environmental regulations targeting pollution and carbon emissions • Increased proliferation of cleaner renewable energy sources

  5. Major U.S. Utilities Which Have Shut Down Substantial Coal-Fired Capacity • American Electric Power • FirstEnergy • Southern Company

  6. U.S. Power Generation Components, In 2015 • Natural Gas 33% • Coal 33% • Nuclear 20% • Hydroelectric 6.0% • Wind 4.7% • Geothermal 0.4% • Biomass 1.6% • Solar 0.6% • Petroleum 1% • Other <1%

  7. India Coal Demand • In 2015, India’s annual coal demand exceeded 750 million tons • India will be constructing the largest number of coal plants of all Asian/Pacific nations • By 2020, India plans to produce 1.5 billion tons of coal, annually • The country plans to invest $100 billion into renewable energy sources, including wind power projects and solar parks • India will continue to become more reliant on coal, as it continues to expand electricity generation for its massive population

  8. The Mercury & Air Toxins Standard Act • Was passed in December 2011, to protect families from harmful power plant mercury emissions and toxic air pollutants • Some of the toxic air pollutants, include: arsenic, cyanide, nickel, selenium, acid gas • Mercury has harmful impacts upon the human body, including: impairing thinking, learning, and can harm the nervous system of children exposed in the womb • The other pollutants can cause, asthma, cancer, heart disease, and premature death
