Nevada will end up with costlier power if it goes ahead with plans to build three new coal plants instead of relying on renewables, says a study from an independent economic consultancy.

The conclusions will surely get the thumbs up from downwind Utah residents, who are petitioning to protest one of Nevada's planned plants.
