Actually....that scenario is not far from reality and could easily happen. Here in Alaska, we are already exporting coal to South Korea. There is a coal ship-loading facility here in Seward. About once a month or so a cargo ship comes here and takes on a full load of coal, bound for Asia. The coal has it's source at the Usibelli Coal Mines, near Healy, Alaska, and is brought to this port via the Alaska Railroad...
