Last time I checked (which admittedly was a few years ago), coal never left. We're still using about the same amount we always were, both here in America, and worldwide. We just use more energy overall in our daily lives necessitating supplementation with oil, natural gas, and now "green" energies like solar and wind.
Coal has gone down from 53% to 34% market share in energy output over the last fifteen years. Coal never left but it's not the king that it once was, either.
