  1. There is zero reason to keep these coal plants open other than to continue clinging to a dead industry. Broadway Theaters employ more people than the entire U.S. coal industry. It’s over. The whole “but grid capacity” argument is BS, which is on full display with Trump spending $1 billion to kill a near-complete energy project that would have provided 700MW of electricity.

    The goal of the Republicans is nothing more than the following: Squeeze as much money out of the American public as possible before the economy crashes.

    1. and future generations be damned. They’ll all be dead when it’s time to pay the pied piper anyway
