Anyone live near St.Clair Michigan? There used to be 2 Coal fired power stations running up there on the St Clair River.
One, has the covered conveyer belts bridged over Jefferson(river drive)or might be Gratiot up that far. Are those plants still there or did they tear them down?

Do you think they will fire back up with the coal restrictions lifted??

I work in the industry. No way will DTE start up retired coal plants, because although the Federal Government is removing road blocks to coal, the State government (Whitmer/Democrats) has control of approving the generation mix that state utilities will use to meet demand. They will never approve coal. Other coal friendly states, however will approve keeping soon yo be retired plants on line and possibly bringing back recently retired plants.
