Coal: Why America Needs a Green Marshall Plan

China, the world's coal king, is quietly ditching the black stuff faster than you can say "solar panel." Meanwhile, the US, champion of global green initiatives, is stuck in a car-dependent, carbon-loving rut. This isn't a lecture on Chinese virtue, but a wake-up call: America needs its *own* Marshall Plan, swapping highways for high-voltage lines and gas guzzlers for grid-scale batteries. Before we preach to the world, we need to practice what we preach – or risk getting left in the coal dust.
