RealClear Wire has a nice story about electric power generation:
Affordable, Reliable, Clean Scorecard: Natural Gas Is Tops, Wind and Solar Are the Worst by James Taylor
I read something the other day that said the reason power plants quit using as much coal wasn't because of environmental reasons, but because natural gas was just cheaper. It's not just the cost of the fuel, it's also the cost of operating a coal fired boiler and all the structures and machinery needed to feed the boiler.
