The Death of Coal

Kentucky Power abandons plan to upgrade aging coal-burning plant | Business | Kentucky.com

economic considerations forced the reappraisal of Kentucky Power's application for an increase in the fuel adjustment to finance adding scrubbers to this plant.  Now they say they will either close it or look at natural gas as a fuel.  The think I noticed is that it is only scrubbers that made the plant economically unfeasible.  There is no mention of how much it would cost to achieve the goal of "clean coal" which does not yet exist.  That would require sequestration of the Carbon Dioxide and add even more to make coal as clean as other fuels.  The march inexorably moves toward clean fuels.  Soon those fuels will become more economically comparable to the dying fossil fuels.
