Thanks Barack… 3 West Virginia Coal Plants to Close | The Gateway Pundit

Three West Virginia coal plants just announced they will close this year. Metro News reported: Ohio based FirstEnergy Corporation announces it will close three coal fired power plants in West Virginia by this fall. The closings come directly from the impact of new federal EPA regulations. The plants to close are Albright Power Station, Willow Island Power Station, and the Rivesville Power Station. The company says 105 employees will be directly impacted. The three plants produce 660 megawatts and about 3-percent of FirstEnergy’s total generation. In recent years, the plants served as “peaking facilities” and generated power during times of...

They are closing three "peaking" stations that only provide energy during peak periods...and yet had to burn coal 24/7. There are better alternatives...

Which would be?

The usual leftist solution:

i also think the epa goes too far in many instances. but there are a few things that all of us are thankful for and don't even know it.

Ah, but that is the 'Conservatives' vision for this nation.

That's right. The evil KKKorporations want to kill all their customers to maximize profits.

Isn't it nice they show pictures from one of the WORST polluters on the planet (CHINA)...and try to confuse the issue?

Being a right wingnut must be so easy, no matter what happens no need to think, or examine, or analyze consequences, just blame our President and all is good in the world and sleep comes so easy.

Consequences? You mean like putting people out of work and closing down energy producers with no replacement for their capacity and increased energy costs that hit the poor the hardest?

Or is that different? Somehow?

These old plants need to be retired.

Do you have any idea of how many people O is throwing out on the streets? Of course you don't.

China's coal burning technologies are still in the 1920s, fool.

Yes. Dead people are great consumers and so easy to control.

that doesn't mean that there are certain things that the epa does for us that we take for granted. which was my point.

Sending them back into the 17/1800's ought to do it...hey our founding generations did it...why not now?

Good point.

Obama could have taken those "green" tax dollars and funded the needed upgrades to coal fired plants, saving more jobs than green technologies would ever hope to create.

But that wouldn't have repaid big Dem donors, so it's a no-go.

Exactly on all points. Gotta keep those donors happy at our expense.

If there's one thing to be learned from this Administration, it's that the only purpose of tax dollars is to repay Democrat donors.

 

[Papageorgio]

Jobs!! We don't need no stinkin jobs!!

 

[daveman]

The families that will be thrown into poverty, how sad.

And power costs rising, hitting the poor the hardest.

This Administration doesn't give a damn about people.

The left bitches about 'regressive taxation' on the poor when the wealthy won't pony up for the whole banquet they want, but yet, they ignore policies that directly hurt the poor like high electricity costs.

Can't make a progressive omelet without breaking a few eggs, can you?

You 'Conservatives' fight every effort to clean up the mess that we have made of this fair land. Your only God is Mammon, and you care nothing about the impact of the pollution from these old plants on the children of this nation. Your lies stating that the plants are harmless are just that, lies. Mercury, causing neurological defects, the rest of the pollution, creating the huge increase in childhood and adult asthma we have seen in the last few generations, are proof of your lies.

But, lying to protect the wealth of the very wealthy is where it is at for you people.

But don't worry about it. The shutdown of all coal fired plants will happen in the not too distant future, brought on by the effects of the GHGs emitted on the climate.

And the question that none of you retards can answer:

With what are you going to replace the 49% of electricity generated by burning coal?

They're wondering why you feel there is a need to replace it at all. We should all use less anyway and live within 'our means' as a civilization.

I really don't want to live in a yurt and burn buffalo shit for heat.

as long as they keep all their own modern amenities, that's fine.

I don't see why the left opposes that. The dead vote predominately Democrat.

Marvelous job of saying absolutely nothing.

Neither do I but these enviro rads would rather not use toilet paper.
