  Hmmm

  Good piece, I'm just skeptical of a few things here.  First, I'm unsure whether or not McCain will support a Cap and Trade, obviously if he became president I would hope he does, but I'm skeptical of that.  

  If however, I go along with your assumption that he would support a Cap+Trade, then the renewables that McCain "doesn't support" would economically be the better option than the coal.  By raising the price of the coal, the effect would obviously be the acceleration of renewable energy development.

  Worst case scenario of course would be that McCain doesn't support cap and trade and then does support renewables.  On AEP demands 45 percent rate increase for Ohio posted 1 year, 3 months ago 11 Responses
