Are coal plants better because they have higher capacity factors?
Are they cheaper to run?
I mean obviously if you compare two coal plants that are otherwise identical, you'd assume the higher capacity leads to cheaper power and is therefore better. But once you are comparing coal to solar, its utterly meaningless out of context. Even in the near identical coal case, why not say "this one is cheaper" or some other measurement people actually care about?
