mkirsch, We will always need electricity. Can't see us going AMISH. I've also seen 2 NG power stations built near by in the past 20 years. They called them peaking plants. My guess is the peaking plants will be full time power stations. We also have two large NG lines in the county. One goes north to Chicago, the other to Indy.
I think T Boone said that we could be energy independent if all semis ran on CNG. And we have a large supply of NS.
Then we have a new style power plant that turns the coal into a gas and uses a gas turbine to power the generators. It been in operation for about 10 years. Not 100% sure it's cleaner but it was suppose to be more efficient.

In Terre Haute there is a company that is setting up shop to use the sludge from city waste treatment to make oil.
Our county landfill is selling it natural gas.

So, it may be possible that coal may not be totally dead.
Of course you may want to check my facts. No claim they are 100% accurate. They are all from my aging memory. So if some want to get picky with my numbers, please post a link to the real numbers. Everyone have a great day. I'm going to have some tractor therapy. George
