    "Most abundant energy source"? Nope. Solar energy is far more abundant [mpoweruk.com] and will still be here even if we (foolishly) burn every ounce of coal from the ground.

    Hows that go at night ?

    Why would we do such an idiotic thing? Natural gas plants currently make a lot more economic sense and while not clean are certainly cleaner than coal plants

    Really think that will be the case over the lifetime of a power plant ?

    Anyway I see you are trying to derail so either come up with some data to make your case or at least apologize to the OP about trying to pass shit off to him.

    That's a levelized cost and it doesn't say what you are claiming it does.

    Try reading the before Tax Credit column. Then take into consideration that Geothermal and Hydro can't supply the power coal can.

    That although coal is stupid and uneconomic,

    Here let me play that game, "Alternative energy is always better so we should shut down everything else right now"

    The point is solar and wind are wasteful and misinvestments and likely to be so for a long time yet to come.

    Hardly a strawman, evidence of past misdeeds and a willingness to distort the facts on the part of the environmental lobby.

    Once again why is it important to invest in deploying technologies that will never pay off ?

    Matter of fact if you were clever enough to follow the links

    You would see the number of "PLANNED OR ON ORDER" is actually 160 nuclear reactors

    You mean the way biofuels were the way to the future ?

    Or the way we now burn fossil fuels to include ethanol in gasoline ?

    At some point solar may be the best, and when that happens there will be no stopping it, or maybe it won't. Going nuts before there is an actual advantage with power plants that don't compete on their own is stupid.

    Facepalm.

    Nobody is putting money into coal because the risk of insane regulation is too high. You don't want to have a 40 year investment killed in year 10 because some fanatic at the EPA faked data.

    As for nuclear try again one we just had one go live

    https://www.washingtonpost.com...

    There's 60 reactors under construction worldwide

    The reason more nuclear isn't being built at a high rate are liability issues and nimby.

    The U.S. has the largest coal reserves on the planet it's our cheapest and most abundant energy source. If anything we should be building more coal plants instead of trying to drop our economic growth to zero and surrender comparative advantage.

    Sorry if there are more than X cabs the profitability of adding an additional delta X goes down at some point it stops being profitable for people to be cabbies which btw would be influenced by how rapidly the cabs can get around. Then there is the fact that having more readily available and cheaper taxi cabs limits the desirability of using your own vehicle.
