Code currently pulls most recent annual average fuel price or coal price by state (national if state unavailable).
Problem 1 Scenario: National average price as of 2019 vs state average price as of 2013. When is a state-level value considered less accurate than national value (by number of years) - account for inflation.
Problem 2 Scenario: Is most recent value sufficient to base fuel price inflation value on or... use short-term forecasts from EIA STEO as the basis for fuel price inflation
