Natural Gas seems to be the way for power plants now. There seems to an
abundance (with fracking), and it is clean.
On some recent trips with the RV I have seen as much as a $1 difference for
Diesel. $.40 to $.60 seems to be the norm.

I'm wondering what is about to happen with the new carbon regulations about
to be in place. It's gong to knock the heck out of electricity because of
the impact on coal fired power-plants, but I can't help how far reaching the
financial impact is going to reach. Its bound to affect fuel prices.
Cracking plant operations costs are bound to go up massively and that will
be passed to us drivers. The whole thing is going to have us all by the
short hair!
