    With global warming upon us, restrictions and "upgrades" to coal plants for both today's and tomorrow's coal plants, the cost of such "dirty" power will be much higher than we see today. It's time to stop driving around on our parking lights. Hit the high beams and become truly aware of what's at stake.

    If we would have woke up ten years ago we might have had a chance but now it is a little too late.Not saying solar is a bad thing mining coal ruins an envirionment as much as burning it.I am from north east Pa.and have seen the results first hand .By the way who do yo u think demonized nukes maybe big coal .
    Right now we will have to live with the effects of global warming and mayge change things a little but once your passed the tipping point your passed it.
