CONWAY -- The board of directors of Santee Cooper decided Friday that the company will not reopen its Grainger generating plant in Conway.
The plant was one of two directors decided to permanently close because of the cost the company would face to make them compliant with the Environmental Protection Agency’s new Mercury and Air Toxins Standard for air emissions.
The other facility slated to close was the Jefferies coal and oil generating units in Moncks Corner. That plant’s hydroelectric generating station will continue to operate.

It isn’t a compliance issue. It is an issue whereby Obama made new EPA rules that are impossible to meet, but I get your point. Yes, the taxpayer money he wasted on his friends on the eco-terrorism side of the fence could have been used to save the several hundred power plants he has targeted for closure.
“I wonder how many plants could have been retrofitted into compliance with the money that was thrown away on bozo’s green energy bs?”
That would make a good R/R ad, wouldn’t it?
I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count!! You and I both know they are going to use this as an excuse to jack up our rates.
