However, this boom in the steam coal market has stopped in 1983, calling‘into I doubt the optimistic predictions of future massive exports. Given the current sit? iuation,?any prediction of future exports would be very speculative. To summarize, it appears from

. However, if the country were to take national responsibility for reducing S02 emissions, a broadrbased user fee on electricity‘generatedHcould be imposed to cover the capital costs of control technologies, involving only a small increase (generally under 5 percent) in electricity rates. A second possibility for lowered consumer rates is the emergence of new techr nologies such as LIMB, AFBC, and low

underground coal miners might need considerable training to obtain jobs. Also, retraining does not mean that a job would be available. In some areas examined, the loss of asubstantial part of the area's basic industry, coal mining, might deprive the area of the vitality necessary to attract new in- dustry. However, unforeseen economic development by the 19903 might provide an unexpected range
