Clean or Not, Coal Ain’t Cheap

Yesterday’s announcement by New York City Comptroller William E. Thompson Jr. (pdf) requesting a review of the financial and environmental risks associated with the use of tax-exempt financing for the construction of new coal-fired power plants is the latest in a string of what I would call ‘learning moments’ for the financial sector.

1. In fact wind is much cheaper than coal--particularly when you take the externalized
costs into account.
