It is reported that 55 per cent
of all the heat and mechanical
energy produced in this country
from 1800 through 1950 was de-
rived from coal.
In that long span of time, other
tuels have waxed and waned in
importance—wood, as an exam­
ple, used to be second on the list
hut is no longer a source of
power. But coal’s position has
not materially changed. Today, as
centuries ago, it is a primary pro­
ducer of energy, and in all prob­
ability it will retain this leader­
ship.
It is authoritatively forecast
that the demand for soft coal
alone in the next 50 years will
exceed the 31,000,000,000 tons of
anthracite and bituminous which
have been consumed in the last
century and a half. One reason
for this is that we will probably
need double our present power
supply in the next two decades or
so. Another is that we have
abundant reserves of coal and,
equally important, a progressive
and highly competitive coal in­
dustry which makes the most of
them.
One phase of the coal industry’s
work is of exceptional interest. It
lies in research which devises
better ways to use coal, and also
searches for new and valuable
products that can be chemically
derived from coal. The list of such
products is a very long and va­
ried one now. And the gates
have barely been opened, the sci­
entists believe. Coal’s contribu­
tion to better living and working
will continue to grow’.
