Now that’s fuzzy math... first of all the 76 cents per kWh is the price the energy was purchased at and energy rates tend to spike during peak loading. Coal is poor at handling peak loading as you can’t readily bring in new generation units to handle the spikes. Secondly, currently the cost of wind turbines is of the order of 7 cents per kWh. Thirdly, the cost of coal generation does not include the external damage to health and environment (global warming, heavy metals, ozone, particulates etc.). If these were factored in (like they did with tobacco), it would not be competitive. Coal like other poisonous chemicals - lead in paint, gasoline, DDT etc., needs to be banned. But now we have a pro-pollution scorched earth fake president...
