Environmentalists cheered the announcement as a 'breath of fresh air'.

The final coal-fired power plants in New England are slated to shutter in the coming years, making it the second region to phase out the energy source that powered the U.S. economy for decades.

In an announcement late last month, New Hampshire-based power provider Granite Shore Power said it had reached an agreement with federal officials to shutter its Schiller Station in 2025 and its Merrimack Station by mid-2028. The action underscores the region's and, more broadly, the nation's steady march toward a future dominated by green energy. Environmental activists have called for this change for years — energy advocates have warned against it.

This is national suicide.Thousands will die from heat; millions will die from cold.

IIRC didn’t the Germans freeze their asses off last winter because of this stupidity?

[JayGalt]

That isn’t what they will be ushering in since green energy will not be able to power the grid. High prices, scarcities and blackouts is what they will usher in. Epic Fail In Process.

"...ushering in era of green intermittant energy." Fixed.

What fuel will keep them warm during the Winter?

Totalitarians cheered the announcement as they stopped driving their gas powered vehicles.

It is going to get very cold in New England.

Hey here is a thought, they have a lot of trees why not cut them down and burn them for heat and cooking? Oh, but burning wood is bad for Mother Earth, better humans die in the cold then offend Mother Earth. /s

Environmentalist (and politicians) are trying to kill us all.

Meanwhile China is building about two new coal plants a week and burning more coal than the rest of the world combined.

England’s move is self-serving virtue signaling and will not make the least difference.

Yes, and we here in southern New Hampshire eagerly look forward to our brownouts, grid failure and massive price increases!

The addition of an off-grid solar PV system with generator backup is rapidly become more than a “nice-to-have”.

Idiots, complete idiots

Ushering in nothing, no energy ushered in, just out.

Opening the door to import more electricity from Ontario. Doing nothing but moving money to Trudeau land.

"Everybody in our region is finally going to be breathing cleaner air," Johanna Neumann, the senior director of Environment America's Campaign for 100% Renewable Energy, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "I think the market has finally caught up to the reality — these coal plants are shutting down and being replaced with renewable energy infrastructure."

Really?

Where?

Because I haven't seen any.

Besides, with all the trees we have here, the air is the cleanest I've ever breathed.

Enjoy the freeze.

They are idiots for closing down the plants.

[bgill]

Back when Barry was running, the United Mine Workers of America union were supporting him on their homepage. All the while Barry was promising to shut them down. Un freakin’ believable.

[BiteYourSelf]

Very much reminds me of the book “Fallen Angels”😖

[Sacajaweau]

china opened 25 new ones this month

[Vaquero]

Nice clean scrubbed coal plants closed. More Marxist bullsh!7.

And I’m sure the winters up there won’t be so cold and snowy their solar panels and wind mills will keep them from freezing to death ... “State officials, including Republican governor Greg Abbott,[13] initially blamed[14] the outages on frozen wind turbines and solar panels.” ...
