If it weren't for coal we would all rely on solar, wind, nuclear and hydroelectric power.

You and others just want to scare people into thinking that the government would just shut down AEP without another system in place..... Not gonna happen.

This is a serious philosophical and technical debate. Please don't try to inject unless you have something constructive to say.

I've known alot of lawyers with what seemed to me like little or no brains. I've also met some very intelligent coal miners.

I gotta agree with Coal Miner on this on this one Devil. How much would it cost the state to produce electricity thru solar, wind, nuclear and hydroelectric power? The BIGGER question is, HOW MUCH more taxes are us hard workin folk gonna have to pay for them big wind mills or a nuclear power plant??? And if every coal mine in KY was shut down monday, we WOULD be without power for a while beacuse there isn't enough stock piles to burn til a nuclear plant etc. was built. I got another question, what would happen to the 1,000's of coal miners that would lose their jobs.
