Even with gas at it's very lowest it didn't ***** coal by very much. Once the majority of the coal fired plants are forced to shut down and gas prices soar the US will find out why we don't want coal plants closed. It's always a smart economic move to get all of your eggs in one basket. You hate coal generation and I take a more pragmatic view. I feel we need to remain diversified so it doesn't bite us in the butt like what's about to happen in Europe. I'm pretty sure coal isn't obsolete. Most of the plants I work at still have some pretty large coal piles.
