They just announced they're shutting down two more power plants here by 2027, that'll be 6 plants near here in the last few years. Glad I'll be retired well before that... My main concern is do we really have enough energy to run this country without coal???... Are we all doomed to the rolling black-outs California has???... Dan
Didn't we get the answer to that question in February?
I've been around for a long time. I never once heard of a coal fired plant "freezing up" before this year. It was brutally cold for 2-3 weeks in 1983 and we didn't have millions of people without power.
This is sheer idiocy. Dozens of people, maybe hundreds, froze to death in Texas in 2021 because we didn't have enough dependable capacity to keep us all warm. Think about that. Now think about the same morons who put us in that situation planning to shut down more reliable gigawatts of electricity.
The Church of Global Warming cares not. This is a religion, and zealots don't abandon their religion no matter what happens.
