    All industries support other indistries or produce stuff you consume.

    You take away the oil industry you suddenly have no diesel for the agricultutal industry. Take away coal and you suddenly cripple the steel industry which just about every thing else is built of.

    Thinking that just one industry causes climate destruction and no other useful output is a dead end.

      Electric arc furnaces have been a thing for smelting in steel mills for a while, hypothetically a mill using those could ditch coal for geothermal power, or even geo combined with solar.
