Other than the rather DRY Dynegy Press release, this was all I could find on this story.
YES, it's an Eco-lib site, but it explains WHO killed this pretty plainly.
Obama has made it plainly clear what he intends to do to coal, and now it's costing Americans JOBS. I hope the UMW, that spent members money to commit ECONOMIC SUICIDE is listening...

It will only be so long before economic reality will catch up. Somehow I doubt the “change” most Obama voters were looking for involved shivering in their houses because they can’t afford their sky-high electric bills.
The plurality of our electricity will come from coal for the foreseeable future. Even the Messiah can’t change that.

I’m just amazed at the utter stupidity of these morons. They think electricity magicly comes from a switch on the wall.
Meanwhile, Democrat policies keep destroying more and more jobs. And Mostly DEMOCRAT-VOTING JOBS...
How did we get so stupid???

Not to worry. A few more windmills here and there, a couple of solar panels on the roof, toss in a few CFLs and everything will be fine. Those coal plants don’t generate much power anyhow.

Couldn't agree more.

Before they go peeing in the tent, the eco-people who prefer solar instead of coal should look at the amount of cleared acreage a solar powered system requires to produce the same amount of energy a coal burning power plant produces.
Then they need to calculate the cost of building each and determine how long each system can operate, as well as coming up with a way to maintain the flow of energy at night or on less than optimal days for the solar plant.
Lunch is now free, but it means skipping suppers and paying two or three times as much for breakfast.

CNN positively fawned over the ash spill, repeatedly saying “coal-fired power plant” along with the appropriate descriptors of danger, threat, risk, worry, etc as they showed aerial photos of the ash. They also stated such plants contribute to the unquestionable global warming. It’s clear that Obama’s anti-coal mantra has been taken up.

Exactly, and power plants are just pollution factories that have nothing at all to do with allowing them to watch An Inconvenient Truth on their plasma TVs in their heated and lit houses while eating the vegetarian lasagna they took out of their freezer and heated in their microwave. Nothing at all.

...and voters in coal-producing states KNEW that Obama would kill the coal industry, but they still voted for him!

And don't forget what the zer0bama concluded in his speech about bankrupting coal companies - electric rates in America are going through the roof. A perfect example of how democRATs work - convert as much of America as possible to a victim class, then the victims will all need democRAT government help just to get by in their miserable lives. See tag line..............

CA mandates that any company building a solar plant must buy 4 times the acreage the plant would occupy of similar undisturbed land and leave it pristine. I know of at least one company that decided to forget building one because that made the cost too prohibitive.

What a shame! Coal is our greatest energy resource.

I guess they figured it would be a bad investment given that Obama has said he wanted to “bankrupt” the coal industry.
