Hunger Games question: What does The Capitol need coal for?

Posted by Dano (aka dano) Apr 8 '12, 10:07

With the technology that they possess, they can't need it as a power source. There's no way those flying ships run on coal, so they obviously have more advanced means to get power.

Coal's used for more than just power, it's important in making steel, for example. -- nm - Ender Apr 8, 10:57

With a population of only 8000, they can't be mining that much coal either. -- nm - GregW Apr 8, 10:29
You still need power for a *lot* of things. Multiple energy sources could be needed. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 10:14 1
- and they probably use coal in the other Districts to keep the high tech away from them, just in case -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 10:28
