Why would consumers go for a more expensive, non-locally controlled option when wind and solar power are now either on par with, or cheaper than, coal?
Furthermore, coal’s expenses soar even more when “externalities” (dumbest term ever) are included – see, for example, asthma rates and the grotesquerie of ignoring coal’s role in climate change.
I want local control. I want clean air. And I want a healthy planet for my grandchildren.
Do you?
