Coal Is the Cornerstone of America's Electricity Supply

A new President and Congress will soon take their seats in Washington and our energy situation will be high on their agenda. As the debate proceeds, it will behoove all Americans to remember the crucial role electricity plays in our prosperity and quality of life. In 1999, the American Academy of Engineering labeled electricity the “single most important engineering achievement of the past century”. And no wonder, electricity is the lifeblood of our modern society.

Jay Apt, Carnegie Mellon University, Electricity Industry Center:
"You need firm power to fill in when the wind doesn't blow. There's just no getting around that. Some combination of more gas- or coal-fired generation, or nuclear power, will be needed. Demand response can provide a significant buffering of the power fluctuations coming from wind. Interacting widely scattered wind farms cannot provide smooth power."
