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.
So, we ship the coal to China and they burn it so dirty that we end up with MORE mercury in our general environment here.
Case in point - some lakes near me that had heavy mercury contamination from back in the 40’ and 50’s are safe enough now to eat fish from — occasionally. But some formerly very clean lakes (including, ironically, a cooling lake at a modern coal plant!) are now also dubbed safe for only occasional fish consumption. So we’ve fixed our hot spots, but the general level of mercury is higher. My local fisheries biologist says that general level is mostly drifting here from “Asia”.

The greenie weenies are using taxpayer money to pay owners of coal fired plants to shut down.
Idiots.
We’re vegans! Let’s store our vegan farts for fuel. Yayyyy!

Hunger Games coming in quicker than expected.
Actually, the closing represents the onset of cheap gas
There are a total of 3,092 operating coal-fired power plant
units in China. As of January 2023, the province of Shandong,
which lies to the south of Beijing, houses the greatest number
of coal power plants, at over 400 units.Jan 3, 2024

...with obviously very little thought given to the high cost of the venture, much less who will be paying the cost.
A Pox on Environmental activists and their evil desire to be seen as saviors and gods when the Living God has assured us that our environment was created, controlled, and sufficient to support and bless his children for as long as this world shall stand.
Only hearts filled with evil designs will be led to believe otherwise and attempt to convince others of their false doctrine.
