Please pass this on... as it is NOT too late!

Interesting counts....

The coal fired power plants we do have are so retrofitted and smogged down to a fraction of their true capacity. We're paying a BIG price for very little emission difference.

“...USA has 15...”

Tell your friend Leo to quit sending you B.S.

The US has 241 coal fired powered plants...

Here is the list:

Thanks!

We should be building them like crazy. We have lots of coal. Good mining jobs, cheap power. The economy would be much better off. Mexico should line the boarder with coal power plants and sell electricity back to the stupid Americans charging their coal powered cars.

So, who benefits, and who is pushing it?

Behind the scenes.

Lots of useful idiots here.

Hope they get caught and receive justice before it’s too late.

There is a MAJOR error in the data you received.

The USA today has 379 coal-fired generating units in 170 operating utility power plants with a total nameplate capacity of 172,000 MW. This is far more than the 15 plants in the text you posted.

The overall conclusion is correct, of course. But it is degraded by such a serious error.

The raw data for all power plants in the U.S. area available at the U.S. Energy Information Administration's "Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory."

The thing that makes coal so attractive.

1) Dig it up

2) Transport it

3) Shovel it in

There are far more than 15 coal-fired power plants in the US. It’s more like 246. I know of two within an hour of my house.

Leo must be in charge of statistics for Joe Biden.

Of the operating U.S. coal-fired power plants, 28% plan to retire by 2035
Just about to vanish from the graph.

Fascinating!
