Jubal, Your comment is commendable, and spoken as a true Engineer in Electric Generation Efficiency and Production. Been a few years since I calculated Heat Rates. Thanks for the info.

"Your....." ? ?
Apparently, you have reached the lowest level........Name Calling. Your true character has now been revealed, (unless profanity is your next planned feeble intent).
Again, please get back to the original subject, if at all possible. It's been fun pulling your chain, and I know the other commentators have enjoyed reading about our differences. Sorry, but I cannot stoop to your immature level, so I shall not respond again.

<larry> Still not an intelligent or accurate "analogy". Thanks for your 'Fossil' agreement (age 49 next month). Let's get back to the original subject, shall we ? I suggest you make a special effort to place a little thought in your comments, if you're capable. (also Ref: RNDY)

<larry> Battleships out lived their purpose, as used in WW2, N. Korea & N. Vietnam (very limited). Never "REPLACED" by "hightech carriers". Wars are fought much differently now. Surely your 'Wiki' is correct about the decommissioning/mothba... in the 90's, but only because they were no longer needed in the modern warfare tactics.
Read up on your History of Tactical Warfare, and let's get back to the original subject of fossil fuels, and yes I'm a Veteran 'Fossil' with degrees in Engineering to include Nuclear.

larry, I'm not too sure I can agree with your 'comparisons'. Car, maybe, but I believe a battleship, at any age, cannot be replaced by a current day (aircraft) carrier. They have different objectives and functions.

Juba, Very true comments. A major fact that has not been addressed is that a majority of the old "coal" plants are designed to burn an alternate fuel due to fuel cost competitiveness, RR & coal strikes, efficiencies, etc. Most old and newer "coal" plants are capable of burning NG as an alternative fuel or fuel mix.

Not by far (yet) even including their solar. You need to compare the MWhr(s) differential and geographical locations. Duke is also negotiating with South Carolina (Santee Cooper Cooperative) to buy into 10-15% of their 1/3 of the 1,000MW Nuclear (underconstruction-Unit #2) and future 1,000MW (Unit #3) Nuclear, principally owned by SCANA (2/3). This began prior to the 'approval' of the Progress Merger. Regulatory issues remain HIGH in North Carolina and Florida over the Merger and excessive cost over-run and delayed startup at the Edwardsport generating facility Indiana. Rate increase requests remain dismal in Indiana, North Carolina, and Florida. Any outstanding requests in Ohio and Kentucky is unknown at this time. (excuse any typo's)

Great 'strategy', however, not absolute by far. Reference: X-Dividends last week, this week or near future (check current stock values/prices). I'll just re-invest the dividend(s) at the lower price(s), if possible, and hope the dividend(s) sustain for another quarter at the lower price levels (generally).
