This was a nice informative article, that is, until recently. Not only has unreferenced information been added, it has now migrated to the second line. Jpatt challenged me to provide references for my assertion about the decline of coal and the rising cost of using coal for power generation. I did then added the information, it seems I satisfied this administrator for there was no complaint. Conservative on the other hand has added unreferenced tidbits and then moved these bits to the beginning of the article. I was reminded by JDano not to insert opinion into the articles. Conservative’s edit concerning Trump and Obama is nothing but speculative opinion without a reference. Sigh…--[[User:GinnyS|GinnyS]] ([[User talk:GinnyS|talk]]) 11:44, 1 July 2017 (EDT)

== More Updates Needed ==
The two most recent updates need work. At 37.26 mills/kWh (2015), coal is the most expensive of the four primary means of producing electrical power. Renewables such as wind and solar are already cheaper and are becoming more so as the economies of scale are becoming reality. Simply put, coal is no longer an inexpensive source of power generation, and for the second sentence of this article to say so is a flat out distortion of reality.

The Trump/Obama allegations are completely unreferenced and should be removed. This was a good article with only minor updates needed until inappropriate edits were made. --[[User:GinnyS|GinnyS]] ([[User talk:GinnyS|talk]]) 11:42, 4 July 2017 (EDT)
