Ok, but why are we comparing coal that somehow doesn’t have to be transported against LNG that does. Can coal be teleported or something?

Mostly because the US has huge coal deposits but fairly limited coal exports. A lot of the discussion about LNG is whether it makes sense to use it to displace same-country coal extraction & use vs ship in LNG from far away.
