The power plants shut down due to emissions produced a minuscule amount of pollution. After you eliminate 98-99% pollution, it becomes uneconomical to go after the remaining. There are thousands of megawatts lying around unavailable due to unreasonable regulations. But who are we to argue with the great minds of Algore and Greta?

I would hope they have a wood stove.

A fireplace is nice to look at, but over 60% of the heat goes up the chimney.

America became energy independent only to have these marxists once again make America dependent upon terrorist nations and this new green deal trash.
