Obama said he was going to shut down coal plants.

I think he has a lot of time on his hands right now.

Actually, this plant was in the process of being forced to shutdown by Obama’s EPA regulations.

This and the plant up river are both being targeted. No replacement facility is planned. This is one of the newest electric generating stations in America. We are in deep doo doo. (JMSS generates 0.5% of US total electric output.)

Judging from the damage outside, the explosion was underneath of the main turbine. This would indicate some sort of pipeline rupture, main steam or reheat line. This unit is 42 years old, the design life was 30 years.
