And what do they think will replace the turbines to treat their water? Coal or oil burning power plants! While that area usually is characterized as a bunch of Limousine Libs, they obviously are, in reality, rich, greedy Republicans who hate the environment.

Coal or oil burning power plants!

It won't be an oil burning power plant. Maybe Natural Gas but nobody except very remote or otherwise infrastructure limited areas are going to put in a normally run (not just a backup) oil burning power plant.

Some new plants are designed to run on petroleum coke, the solid, coal-like substance leftover from crude oil after the valuable fuels like gasoline and diesel have been removed. Much of the power plants listed as petroleum fueled are actually burning petroleum coke. Even then, it is very few.
