Just witnessed this meeting of the minds on FB
(poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they're "stupid" and woke
The only thing coal has going for it is you can burn it when the sun is down and the wind has stopped. Solar makes more financial sense
"On average, the marginal cost for the coal plants is $36 each megawatt hour, while new solar is about $24 each megawatt hour, or about a third cheaper.,Only one coal plant – Dry Fork in Wyoming – is cost competitive with the new renewables."
