Coal may be cheap now, but give it a few months. As soon as the real costs of coal are factored into its low price, it will continue to be cheap. But mark my words, there will be a cap and trade law put on the books AND the price of coal will rise. Yes, coal will continue to play a major role for the time being. But that does not preclude the cheapening of other clean sources of energy. Cheer up, it's going to be alright. Lyn-

Poor fool you. Congress can not write a bill that will drive the American market to produce clean, affordable energy from renewable sources. It's not going to happen. Lower income Americans that drive cars can not afford hybrids or electric cars. America is going to continue to use gasoline powered autos until America can't afford the gasoline any more. And much of America's electricity will continue to be produced by coal plants. Middle, working, and lower -classes can not afford anything else. Companies like Gulf Power and others in the southeastern United States will burn coal until it runs out. Because their customers can't afford anything other than cheap power.
