France, UK, The Netherlands and Canada have all stated that they will phase out coal sometime over the next 10 to 15 years.  In the USA, despite opposition from the Republicans, coal is being progressively phased out, too.

It's not just pollution and global warming which are driving this move out of coal (though they are important), it's cost.   It's hard to believe there will be any coal-fired power stations in 2030, except in China, India, Vietnam, South Africa and a few others, and even there they will produce relatively small percentages of total electricity.  By 2040 they too will be gone.
