My father hates this thing because the electricity it provides is above market rate.


Given that electricity demand is projected to continue climbing for some time, I don't think that's such an issue. It probably won't be above market rate for long.


Are electricity prices projected to rise? Even with all the much cheaper renewables coming on line in future?


In China offshore wind is cheaper than coal.

The stop-start nature of US efforts, which isn't limited to this particular illegal stop work order, don't help with costs.


That's easy to say if you don't have to live with the consequences of cheap oil product burning, nor apparently have an idea of the current health impacts (people walking by a car don't fall over but, in aggregate, the lost number of healthy years due to this pollution is pretty upsetting)


That seems like a great problem for the market to sort out.
