What's the market value of one ton of coal?
Has a group other than greenpeace done the accounting on the 'cost' to the nation?
Are you not intrigued by the enormous error-bars on that figure ($22-$237)? Maybe this is a complete wank?
How does the nation benefit from having inexpensive coal power available? What's the value per ton generated?
- ZeroGravitas 10y agoI believe that the "social cost" in the report is a value generated by the federal government itself. Also, error bars generally make me more confident in a number. Coal can be burned in old or new plants with different levels of scrubbing for example. I'd also point out that this conversation started with you "just asking questions" about subsidies, and you've attacked every answer you've received.
