List of Coal-Powered Plants That Will Close Due to EPA Regulations

As you go through this, think: JOBS. 

Link here.

This is probably the best database on this issue that I have seen anywhere. 

Data points:
  • The coal-powered plants that will close represent almost 10 percent of US total coal-generating capacity.
  • The closures are the equivalent of closing every coal-generating plant in North Carolina or Indiana.
  • The majority of states will be affected, some more than others.
 I won't link it again; I've posted the YouTube link many, many times on this blog; it's easy to find.

“So if somebody wants to build a coal-fired plant they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them…”
– Barack Obama speaking to San Francisco Chronicle, January 2008
