Coal still supplies more power in the US than anything else, with natural gas next. However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output. The first eye-opener for large scale solar was the Austin Energy PPA last year that was priced at 5 cents.
