[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5663595, member: 58386"] Nope. Economics pure and simple. Right now 30 states and DC are deregulated electricity markets and some are both natural gas and electric. Perhaps your state isn't one of them. Now how many construction permits for big coal fired labor intensive power plants are being issued today? Zero. Too expensive to build. too expensive to operate , takes too long to build them. Instead what you're seeing are the smaller, cleaner, easier and faster to build pre fabricated gas plants that use a fraction of the labor. Now those are the ones that can compete in today's deregulated markets. And most importantly, they can be built where the grid wants and needs them located. In fact first and second stage approval has been granted for a solar power farm to be built not far from where I live on an old back filled strip mine. The developers are saying that they can generate and sell power for 10-15% less than the most commonly used supplier in this area and can power 1500 homes. [/QUOTE]
