Yes, Coal is cheaper and how many homes does one power plant serve? A lot more than 80,000 and much cheaper and less ugly.

while the US and Europe are closing their coal fired power plants, India and China are building them like no tomorrow - China is planning 247 Gigawatts of new coal fired power plants. If the enviro wackos have their way, picture the above graphic with only the top segment generating power. Now add in the EV demands ... now look at your power bill (when you have electricity to read it); the scarcer the power, the higher the demand, the more they will charge. Your choices will be: charge your EV, run the fridge and run the lights; pick one.
