Erp, sorry to get off topic, but this bugs me too much LOL
China generates a significant amount of its energy from Coal (over 68%), so in fact it does use coal to make iPods.
All those electric vehicles that carmakers are making and we're getting tax credits in the US for to encourage use --- they mostly run on coal since that is how nearly 50% of electricity in the US is generated.
Coal = Electricity. You plug something into a wall, chances are the electricity provided was generated via coal.
