WE should be burning coal because we're on the coast and the wind blows off shore, and the midwest plants should be burning nat gas because thats where the gas is, and when they burn coal, we get the acid rain from it. The situation is backwards, and as a result, WE PAY MORE. RI has the HIGHEST electric rates in the country, while the midwest has some of the lowest. It's like HALF as much out there. Yet they have more miles of power lines because everything is more spread out. It's all backwards. Two reasons, progressive regional environmental policies, and strong unions (which drive the per-mile cost to maintain the lines way up). Those are the facts.
