Coal is significantly worse than solar in almost every measurable way: it's worse for the environment, worse for the health of people living near the mining/production sites, and more expensive per kWh. @SHO-NUFF

…no.

Coal is significantly worse than solar in almost every measurable way: it’s worse for the environment, worse for the health of people living near the mining/production sites, and more expensive per kWh.

And what difference does it make anyway how much power you consume. When I fill my truck up with gas, if I buy 10 gallons or 30 gallons the price per gallon is the same. It should be the same purchasing electricity. FP&L should of stayed on coal, it was a fixed cost other than the delivery charge to get it to the generating facility. Natural gas, or Methane is plentiful in our area. A by-product of oil production, most is flared off and not captured for use. How can we have a volatile market, with so called price swings passed on th the customer, when we produce more natural gas than we need just up the road. Ride through south Alabama just North of Santa Rosa county at night and look at the night sky lit up with flare stacks burning of Methane as a waste product. Add all the solar farms FP&L have built, and our rates contine to increase. If it walks like a duck,,, Rates increase significantly when you exceed the 1000 KW/HR monthly cap.
