A) pro coal: coal mines need more business; pro solar: Florida is an ideal state for solar energy because of its abundant sunshine

B) pro coal: invest in this relatively cheap and reliable energy source; pro solar: invest in solar energy because coal supplies re running out faster than oil supplies

C) pro coal: coal is a relatively cheap and abundant energy source; pro solar: Florida is ideal for solar energy, which produces no pollutants, because of its abundant sunshine

D) pro coal; a coal-fired power plant gives off less pollution than any other type of power plant; pro solar: investments in solar energy will help develop technologies for safer nuclear power plants
