Interestingly, I saw something the other day about improvements in transmission lines that could increase available electricity by about 6% without new generating capacity. Of course, how many trillions of dollars it would take to upgrade the grid is an important question.

My point in the "OTOH" was simply that the case for coal seems, to some degree at least, to depend on continuing economic growth - a scenario you seem to believe highly unlikely.

<< coal is the cheapest (although not cleanest) so it will continue to make up a significant portion. >>

I believe not as cheap as Duke Energy's nuclear/hydro step plants.

Pure hydro is the cheapest and cleanest of them all by far. Craig are you really in Seattle as you claim? Isn't there a lot of hydro out there in the NW.... and you don't know this?
