Shut those plants down now and replace them with acres and acres of wind turbines with solar panels on the vanes.
I believe there are over 600 coal fired plants in the US. Here in Utah, the 1,800-MW coal-fired Intermountain Power Plant in Delta, Utah is supposed to convert into an 840-MW combined-cycle facility that will run first on a mix of natural gas and hydrogen and will ultimately operate on hydrogen alone, according to the owners. All of the electricity currently goes to CA, who does not like coal. The loss of the coal market is causing serious a depression in Utah coal mining towns. No idea where the hydrogen will coming from - it’s been the fuel of the future for at least the last 50 years. My bet is it will be natural gas for a long time, especially since they think they will store it underground in natural caverns.
I almost want to protest just because it’s CA:)
