The Future of The G.O.P.

Lol coal fired power plants get old and need replacement. Where are the investors?

"Coal plants get old" isnt an effective response. As for investors, what the fuck would either of us know about that?

Get this weak fuckin shit out of my face!!!!!

"Aging out" has never been a reason anyone has given for shutting down coal plants. Get these weak responses out of my face!

Coal fired powerplants are very high-pressure, high-temperature systems subject to corrosion, duh.
If a utility gets 35-years of production with routine maintenance that's a good plant.

Quantifying operational lifetimes for coal power plants under the Paris goals - Nature Communications

The plant-by-plant retirement needs are not well-understood yet to achieve the rapid transition away from coal use. Here the authors found that operational lifetimes of existing units must be reduced to approximately 35 years to keep warming well below 2 °C or 20 years for 1.5 °C, even if no new...

Even if no new plants are built, the lifetimes of existing units are reduced to approximately 35 years in a well-below 2 °C scenario or 20 years in a 1.5 °C scenario.

Republicans have the House

What do they plan to do?

"poster"

So an unproven meme means nothing. Its a cartoon for the simple minded.
Medicare will be bankrupt in 2024
Social Security will only pay 80% of promised benefits in 2034

...and democrats are doing nothing to fix SS & Medicare.

AND? If a coal plant ran its course and is no longer a viable source for coal, Biden wouldnt need to announce that he is shutting it down. The company would simply stop mining there, right?

Like i said, get these WEAK mother fuckin arguments out me my face.

We apparently have a definition problem to correct:
1. Sources of coal are coal mines.
2. Coal fired powerplants burn coal to generate electricity

Biden said he will shutdown coal fired powerplants, without replacing the needed electrical capacity.

Your misunderstanding of the discussion is glaring. Post when you actually know something about the topic.

Ok, then what happens to coal miners after biden closes coal power plants? What happens to energy prices?
