Let us know how much your quality of life improves.
You have solar panels so you have some power right?
(Actually I know your grid tie system is useless when the power goes out unless you have a sunny boy sps serries grid tie inverter)

The EPA states that 95% of coal plant Hg emissions have been eliminated since 2001.
So the Hg argument doesn't really exist any more.
You left out the key word in my question - how does letting coal be DIRTIER make anything better?
