Most advanced economies are phasing out coal. Worldwide it's less than 30% of power generation. Also, fuel is fairly transportable. You can produce the fuel wherever renewable electricity is most available, and sell it worldwide. The economics are comparable to aluminum, where a large fraction of the world's supply is produced adjacent to geothermal power stations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Iceland#Aluminium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Iceland#Aluminium
