Peak Coal Crisis

The Peak Coal crisis is a critical historical event in the early part of this century, Commencing in the 7620s and lasting until the early 7650s when energy reorganisation and the advent of commercial nuclear power broke the stranglehold of an energy-starved driven stagnation of the global economy. The crisis has its roots in the turn of the century conflicts such as the Wolgos Scourge, which consumed a great number of coal reserves and accelerated the consumption of known coal deposits. By the early 7620's, the vast majority of commercially exploitable deposits and mines had reached the point of diminishing returns or exhaustion, which vastly inflated coal prices and set off a series of scrambles and conflicts to secure energy stability and survival.
