[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1512755, member: 6291"] Sorry but its a fact. People can play the blame game all they want but it is reality. All the other forms of energy deal with same env regs so its an even playing field. If you completely de-reg coal and the other forms of energy... coal still costs more. We have discussed this in other threads many times over. I know people who deal with all forms of power generation and they will tell you flat out coal is done. Its straight up numbers. Coal plants have to have long term contracts, easily sourced coal, and be running non-stop to make even thin margins. The man power and general logistics of operating a coal plant are their own worse enemy. You can literally run a natural gas plant with a hand full of people and if you don't have a contract you can fire up in peak times only and still be ok. Especially now with wind being a legit contender it does not make sense to put money in to coal powered energy. Supposedly their are big things coming down the pipe on batteries that are going to make solar become a condender also. I'm sorry but when the money leaves and says we're done... its done. [/QUOTE]
