As far as I know, I think you lost your bet, because we don't have coal of any kind.

We do have oil, but no substancial amounts have been found.

I won't be surprise if we are sitting on an "oil lake" and we have not tapped into the reserves yet. All of the ingredients for petroleum to exist are in place and the fact that we have found some oil could suggest to more, larger quantities directly under our feet.

You can buy it, if someone else imports it...

"coal mines found in the samana peninsula produced a kind of lignite
which proved of little commercial value and gave rise to the belief
that the republic's coal deposits had not emerged from the formative
period. later investigations show that while there is considerable
undeveloped lignite, coal sui for fuel is not wanting. small coal
deposits have been discovered in the cibao valley, between the central
and the northern mountain chain, in the province of pacificador and
that of santiago. anthracite coal found at tamboril, near the city of
santiago, was used to run a small motor exhibited at an industrial
fair in santiago in 1903. in the commune of altamira, province of
puerto plata, lignite and anthracite beds have been discovered, and
traces of anthracite have also been found in san cristobal commune,
and in the petroleum region of azua. in the central mountain chain a
valuable coal deposit has been found on the haitian side and similar
beds may be expected in santo domingo."
