Reliance on coal for California's power faces logistical and environmental hurdles as commercial coal is nearly unavailable in the state and the nearest sources lie about 1,000 miles away.

Even with interstate approval to burn western coal, costs favor locating plants in California, yet efforts to develop local coal resources continue.
