Still it is most likely there will be a combined solution between centralized and distributed power systems where each can alleviate others shortcomings. For example when some local FF plant goes down for maintenance the global grid compensates to increase overall reliability.

Regarding the clean coal technology, it is not yet available, and I don’t think any FF fans would support its development 😆

I’ve always regarded “clean coal” as (a) a relative term, since one can modulate the combustion and exhaust in many ways, and (b) irrelevant except insofar as it relates to heavy metals and particulates, since CO2 is a bogus issue. :coolsmirk:

Assuming FF’s success, coal will eventually be eliminated economically, too, as a power source, though probably last because of its comparative cheapness (only about 6X FF). But no new plants will be built. Ever.
