We're quite lucky to have low electric rates in SE Michigan. The assumption that falling oil prices means falling coal prices is wrong. I don't see massive mismanagement by Edison, in fact, I think they're wise to live within the rules and burn coal as long as possible. Sure, its not as clean as nuclear or natural gas, but its a far more wise mid-term choice. Coal is a bit nasty, but I think the economic advantages for us in developing jobs today exceeds the reasonable future costs that will be associated with complying with present and future regulations. I'm quite sure Edison is not ignoring the future of electrical generation. They've just decided that the best thing for their ratepayers and their shareholders is to utilize our existing infrastructure as long as it is legal and prudent to do so.
