Thanks to the success of fracking, there is so much natural gas available
that the cost of it, in many parts of the country, has fallen
precipitously. Here in Alabama, environmentalists get the blame for closing
coal mines when it is actually the competition from natural gas, the cost
of which is about 25 percent of what it was ten years ago. Coal doesn't
stand a chance, especially since it can't be pipelined to its destination.
