coal is declining fast - NG is killing it faster than any regulations

I also agree with your 2nd para. - but there could be problems in the near term.

and that brings us back to the MuskMoBile and Tesla - he is very smart to integrate PV panels and batteries into his industrial conglomerate; not to say that success is assured
