Still need coal for the electricity to charge your batteries, more electric vehicles, more coal burning into the air. Also, what's the cost of the batteries when it's time for them to be replaced? And where are all these old batteries going to be dumped? I agree with Smell Esox- "Good luck". Kdawg
Far more electricity generated by natural gas than by coal. Also, solar and wind are producing more electricity every year. Coal generated electricity dropped 40% in a decade.
Just had a discussion with the guy that services my standby generator. His company has begun installing solar panels and storage for that electricity. Based on the amount of fuel the computer on my 2011 Yukon says I have used since I bought it 11 years ago, I could purchase enough panels, storage and inverter to power a Ford Lightning for less than I have paid for gasoline, and that was calculated at $2.75/gal. I have a stand alone storage garage where I store my boats and have room for the panels, storage units and electronic controls. Realize that is not always the case.
