The present dilemma of energy producers, converters, and policy decision makers is presented. the consequences of environmental control regulations, coupled with the need for conservation and energy, and of energy resources on the increased utilization of coal, are discussed. Several recent technical accomplishments which make possible increased utilization of coal for power generation are described. Groundwork is laid for discussion of the technical development which must occur if the United States is to retain its energy viability.
