While a total of 20 states have coal units that are no longer economic, the five states that are facing the greatest amount of
uneconomic coal generation relative to their overall electricity mix are, in order, West Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, each with at least one - fifth of their in - state electricity generation coming from units that our analysis shows to be struggling economically.
Not it is your argument that PV will make electricity
generation less secure because a purported low LCOE will make it
uneconomic to run reliable baseload plant of which the only realistic options are
coal and nuclear.
