DETROIT (AP) — DTE Energy Co. plans to shut down eight coal-fired units at three power plants in Michigan within the next seven years.

The Detroit-based utility announced Wednesday the units being retired between 2020 and 2023 are at the River Rouge facility in the Detroit area, the St. Clair facility in St. Clair County's East China Township and the Trenton facility in suburban Detroit.

DTE says the plants together generated about 25 percent of electricity produced by the utility in 2015 or enough to power 900,000 homes.

The utility say affected workers will be offered jobs at other DTE facilities.

Earlier this year, DTE retired three coal generating units. The utility says it will replace them with a mix of newer, more modern sources such as wind, natural gas and solar.

Californians lose 800,000 acre-feet of water to 305 minnows

It would take about four average size minnow buckets to hold 305 3-inch Delta smelt, yet that is number of minnows responsible for diverting enough water to the ocean to provide a year’s supply for 800,000 California families.

800,000 acre-feet of water went to waste based on the science of four buckets of minnows. That is enough water to produce crops on 200,000 acres or 10 million tons of tomatoes; 200 million boxes of lettuce; 20 million tons of grapes. You get the picture?

Reckon you'd know a bit about that.
 
Coal is spendy and very dirty. And will be replaced in the near future by a mix of natural gas and wind. And, as solar increases in efficiency and decreases in price, it will become part of the mix even in that northern area. This is economics, not politics.
