Why are there less plants using coal? Because natural gas is cheaper.
Why is natural gas cheaper? Because it is a byproduct of fracing for oil.
What will happen as more EV's on the road? Less oil is needed.
What happens when less oil is being freced? Less natural gas being produced causing prices to increase.
What happens when the price of natural gas cost more than coal? Power plants will start using coal again.
Its all connected.
That is unlikely to happen in the next 30 years. I am not against this and hope it comes, but I am more logical in my estimates. They are based on data, and not what I want to happen.
