Gas has set the wholeale price on more than one occassion after solar and wind failed. It has seen prices go from an average of A$65 per megawatt hour to A$9,000 per megawatt hour. Point is that wind and solar certainly have their benefits and hopefully in years yo come they play a bigger role HOWEVER, today and for the foreseeable future coal wil play a major role in the energy grid (US increasing production and consumption of coal by between 5-6% in 2017 per the EIA). So unless we are claiming the EIA is SOOOOO wrong because certain posters have access to US production and consumption data that is more accurate then we can all agree that US productiom and consunption is increasing in 2017 v 2016.
Your coal storage comment is exactly correct. That is one of the reasons coal usage is not wanning either here in the US or Internationally.
Of course there will be people who will not accept the actual factual data that is published by actual departments and divisions solely focussed on this data collection but that is ok. I look forward to the testing being finished amd positive news.
James E . Please keep up your postings. I appreciate them for their factual accuracies.
