Does it not have something to do with all the regulations on burning coal?

No. Coal companies are putting coal scrubbers on just about every unit, but gas is so cheap right now, electric companies are using gas, as most have gas units also. If gas goes up, they will go back to burning coal, that is cleaned with those scrubbers. I build gas units, as well as coal scrubbers. These guys here will only tell you things that promote the republican agenda. I work for Apogee coal as we speak, building "filter" plants to clean up the selenium that is going into the creek. Selenium is a known cancer causer, and several other illnesses, in larger amounts caused by mining, but you won't hear that from the republican cheerleaders here.
