* We need an article and a category on [[Coal mining disasters]] (we already have one on [[Coal mining accidents]]. It would tie together [[Buffalo Creek Flood]] and other such disasters.
* '''[[Bill Gates]]''' and the '''[[Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation]]''' have both been criticized for their coal investments. That information should be added to these sites.
*'''[[Coal and Native American tribal lands]]''' – 3,999 views (9/09), 6,352 page views (5/10), 8,932 views (3/11) – key topic, needs regular additions. Needs a Navbar to connect to related articles. Needs more organizations and companies to be added to the “Related SourceWatch articles” section.
*'''[[Conservation and efficiency programs as an alternative to coal]]''' - Important topic that needs more more content and needs to be linked into an [[Alternatives to coal]]. 1,720 page views (5/10)
* '''[[Decoupling]]''' - This stub needs to be expanded.
* '''[[Environmental impacts of coal]]''': 3,548 page views (9/9). 7,164 page views (5/10). Needs more on reclamation, and needs to link to reclamation article.

SW: updating
==Articles that need work==
* [[U.S. Social Forum and coal]], [[World Social Forum and coal]]
* '''[[Blogs about coal]]'''
* '''[[Books about coal]]''' and '''[[Documentaries about coal]]''' - These pages have now been created but more could be added. There are many books and movies about the labor wars in the coal fields, for example. And there are many classics that are now out of print and deserve recognition -- maybe it's time for some of the books to be republished or released as PDFs. Many documentaries about coal are slightly obscure, so it would helpful to get a list all in one place and find out which ones are the best.
*'''[[Carbon Capture and Storage in India]]''' - blank
*'''[[Carbon Capture and Storage in the United Kingdom]]''' - blank
*'''[[Coal facts & figures]]''' - This article could provide some basic information on production, number of mines, number of plants, etc. It could also guide people to the available sources of data online like the Energy Information Agency, the Dirty Kilowatts study, CARMA, and Followthecoalmoney.org.
* '''[[Coal plant financing]]''' - Matt Leonard talked about writing a primer on how coal plants are financed. We need something to introduce people to the basics.
* '''[[Coal reserves]]''' - 7,724 page views (5/10). 12,387 views (3/11). Add info from Heinberg's book Blackoutand from the new Rutledge study and other new studies.
* '''[[Coal Studies]]''' - Here's a good page to work on if you have limited time. The number of studies is really big, and the main service provided by this page is to list them all in one place and categorize them by topic.
* '''[[Comparative electrical generating costs]]''' -- need to add updated info from [http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/beck_plantcosts/pdf/updatedplantcosts.pdf "Updated Capital Cost Estimates for Electricity Generation Plants,"] U.S. Energy Information Administration, November 2010
* '''[[Federal coal leasing]]''' - This is an important topic, especially in the Powder River Basin that accounts for nearly 40% of U.S. production and is almost federal coal leases. These leases are historically very cheap and are an overlooked public policy handle.
* '''[[Feed-in tariff]]''' - needs to be expanded.
*'''[[Former coal plants]]''' - needs more pictures

*'''[[Green the Capitol Initiative]]''' – 252 views - stub

*[[International opposition to coal]] - This page would have a brief paragraph and link to opposition in all the countries where it is taking place; also [[International protests against coal]] and [[Indigenous opposition against coal]]
* '''[[Key private sector decision makers on coal]]''' needs to be expanded to also include mining company executivessuch as [[Chris Cline]] and [[Rinat Akhmetov]]. Also, the stubs created for the executives on the list need to be expanded.
*'''[[Kingsnorth Power Station]]''' - cancelation of the plant needs to be reported on the plant page as well as [[E.ON UK]] and [[United Kingdom and coal]]

* '''[[Carbon Capture and Storage]]''' - 15,506 page views (5/10)
* '''[[Coal phase-out]]''' - 13,548 page views (5/10). It would be helpful to know how many coal plants are expected to be phased out in the coming decades under a "business as usual" scenario either from (1) obsolescence or (2) application of existing air pollution standards. The people who produce the "Dirty Kilowatts" database may know this; also the Clean Air Taskforce.
*'''[[Comparative electrical generation costs]]''' - 15,331 page views (5/10), 25,700 page views (3/11) - needs updated information
