To Support Coal, Buy an EV

This article may sound controversial but it isn't. Here is a breakdown of the facts and figures. The article is primarily directed at people in coal-producing states like West Virginia but if your electricity comes from a gas-fired power plant those figures are also provided.

@shuttersparks Any possibility of adding a solar installation to your eventual home-charging station? Solar Holler and others doing good work in WV!

@matt Absolutely. I'm having a meeting this coming week with a partner on this project and electricity is one of the topics. Solar is on the table.

Unfortunately, West Virginia isn't the greatest place for solar because of low insolation and 40 degree latitude. For much of the year, West Virginia is the Land of Perpetual Thick Dreary Overcast. Haha. It's still worth it, just not as exciting as having solar in the California desert.
