"Coal-fired electricity is cheap for roughly the same reason that pulling a dine and dash at a fancy restaurant is a cheap way to get a nice dinner."Energy Policy in the United States is not an example of the free market at work. Government allows coal companies the right to hand off the costs of pollution to society. That is a government program, just as putting money into renewables or enacting a tax on carbon would be a government program.
The question is: Which government energy program will lower health care costs, protect the planet, and move our economy forward in a sustainable direction?
