Some are not that small. The EPA is messing with electrical generation reserve capacity. And not in a good way.
These are national security issues.
And it's obvious treason by our putative "leaders". They're leaving us open to foreign enemies like China and ISIS. And it appears to be on purpose.
My local plant (which supplies power to probably half the population of Kansas) has had to spend a tremendous amount of money to upgrade, for the new regulations. The plant was originally built in 1980, and none other than Walter Mondale was there at the ribbon cutting - the democrats used to be pro-electricity, with the TVA and rural electrification. Funny how they change.
Another plant near me had to improve the ash storage area...after the fly ash is caught by the electrostatic scrubbers in the stack, it has to be stored somewhere, and it is usually stored in pits. Well, their pit was too close to the river, so they had to line it with concrete - looks like a football sized concrete swimming pool. This is the same EPA than recently made a river run orange.
