Coal is referred to in Part 2. What the so-called environmentalists need to accept, whether they understand it or not, is that 60% of our electricity comes from coal. No amount of wind energy, hydro, or any other non fossil source of energy will supplant that other than nuclear (nucular, as a certain politician likes to call it). It will take many years to bring enough nuclear power on stream to begin to reduce reliance on coal. And, those same environmentalist no doubt will get all twisted in their underwear opposing expansion on nuclear energy. Perhaps it's time to see the world as it really is -- mostly gray and with some black and some white at either end of the spectrum - instead of the black and white that so many people find it so easy to believe.
