What are the pros and cons of natural gas fuel for this plant?
Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel, but its price is volatile, having ranged in the last 3 years from about $2 per million Btu to $14 per million Btu. Moreover, some observers anticipate a surplus of large, natural gas power plants coming online in the next few years. The consequential increases in demand and cost for natural gas could make such plants economically less attractive than their proponents currently forecast.
