    How expensive is it per MWh compared with coal if you account for removing the CO2 from the atmosphere?

      Most countries don’t and won’t do that, though. Coal is only expensive when a society agrees to stop externalizing the costs, and that only works if either most major countries are doing it or when they severely restrict trade with countries that keep externalizing the costs.
