  1. Banning the closure of coal plants is one of the most backwards things that this state could possibly do. The pollution created by burning coal in particular is terrible, and the idea of ‘clean coal’ is a lie. By burning coal in Indiana, we are poisoning Hoosiers every day – causing needless suffering, increasing healthcare costs, and reducing worker productivity.

    The very least we can do is allow utilities to close coal plants as they see fit. To tell AES, NIPSCO, and others that they cannot close coal plants or convert them to natural gas is to jump off a cliff because the coal industry told us to. Just a complete joke.

    1. I wonder how long Soliday can hold out against the coal industry before they find a patsy to run against him in the next primary who will do their bidding.
