$BTU Anyone that thinks solar just doesn't understand the size and scope of mead and the Vegas market. Vegas needs a gigantic 24x7 baseload because of all the AC demand that hits later in the day and stays high into the night. Coal and Gas are great sources of power in the desert (even better then Nuclear) because they are highly availabl 24x7 power sources where you can modulate the output in minutes based on demand. The US desperately needs more coal output everywhere. And we need to move datacenters closer to where we have unlimited cheap natural gas like TX, OK, WY, ND. Thank god the Trump admin is finally doing something about it. A year later but better late then never.
