It's a good article otherwise, thanks. I was surprised that the externalities of coal were 2* the price!
For coal, it's almost 4 times the price, and I'm sure that is conservative. As for units, 1000 kg = 1 tonne, 2000 lbs - 1 ton, and at least we don't weigh in units of stones (114 lbs) or measure time in fortnights, or use velocity units of furlongs per fortnight any more.
Nb41
you can keep the furlongs, knots, flozs etc.
(of course, having lived in the US I actually speak american imperialism fluently :)
I'm capable of using any of them. But, in my neck of the woods, natural gas is priced in $/MBtu, and gasoline is $/gallon, coal in $/ton and crude oil in $/bbl (42 gallons). But, you will be happy to know, electricity is all metric, all the time.
