Face it, Donnie. The Age of Coal is over.

Danielle Kaeding reports:
The company’s terminal opened in 1976. It became one of the leading facilities that transfers coal from rail to ships on the Great Lakes, said Jayson Hron, a spokesperson for the Duluth Seaway Port Authority.
Hron said the facility set a record loading 22 million short tons of coal in 2008 or nearly half the total tonnage moving through the Port of Duluth-Superior. But coal tonnage has dropped 75 percent from its peak at the Superior terminal due to the shift away from coal-fired power plants.
In recent years, Hron said coal accounted for between 16 and 18 percent of all tonnage moved through the Port of Duluth-Superior. The port handled nearly 30 million tons of cargo last year.
