With 25 yrs. as a unit operator of a 2 unit 1400 megawatt station. I can assure you you cant produce 5 million cubic ft. of steam per hour by burning unicorn farts. We have about 300 years of supply identified and in production. Get govt out of western lands and that number jumps exponentially. The Black Thunder mine was one we would get fuel from on occasion, off long term contract. That was some of the best stuff, Low ash and sulfur content, but high btu content. That stuff was like racing fuel. Brilliant to force out of production. A fabulous natural ressource of this country just going to waste. FUBO.
Natural Gas is unicorn farts? But cheap carbon is great for power plant operators.
Coal’s enemy is not Obama, it’s Fracking.
