I would imagine that the price/kW of coal will become easier to beat as we run out of it.

  We're not running out of coal any time soon.

  Pick your favorite energy technology (oil, wind, solar), it still applies.

    It's quite a bit harder to run out of wind and solar.
    • rpedela 13y ago
      Yeah. My comment has nothing to do with finite or infinite amount of any energy technology but rather that my original comment applies to fusion competing with the price of any existing energy technology such as coal, oil, wind, solar, etc.

      Sure, but it's not too difficult to run out of the materials necessary to usefully collect those energy sources.
