Cost of energy
• Coal ($46/ton, IL) 0.8¢ ----• Natural gas ($3.50/MMBtu) 1.2¢
3.2¢• Gasoline ($3.29/gal) 10¢ ----• Electricity 10¢ 10¢
• Coal and natural gas are about 33% efficient for generating electricity (up to 60% for natural gas)
• Conventional cars have an efficiency of about 20%• Electric cars have an efficiency of about 80%• Coal and natural gas are very cheap (and
abundant, for now)
