Coal Loses Crown As King Of Power Generation : NPR: ". . . a few years ago, Georgia Power generated nearly three-fourths of its electricity with coal. Last year, for the first time, natural gas edged out coal, and just this week the company announced plans to close 10 coal-fired power generators within the next few years. "We do recognize this is a historic event for our company. We've never announced this many closings at one time," says Mark Williams, a company spokesperson. If all goes as planned, within a few years only a third of the company's power plants will run on coal. The company has already built three new natural gas plants. It's expanding a nuclear plant and going bigger into solar and wind, Williams says. . . . "
