We are going to be very sorry we burned up all the precious natural gas to make electricity instead of abundant coal. NG should be used for higher-value applications and coal used to make power.

Burning HUGE amounts of NG to make electricity to appease the Global Warming kooks is just insane and very short-sighted.

You’re right. You can run diesel trucks on natural gas, saving oil. Use coal for electricity.

I'm long believed low rank fuels, like coal, should be used for massive power generation. Higher rank fuels, nat gas and petroleum based products belong in mobile equipment.
