***Flint creek will get a scrubber - ****
Thiry four years of low sulfur coal and low emissions suddenly the EPA says FCPP needs a scrubber.
Wait till they hear about all that LEAD shot fired into the boiler to knock off slag! That will send them into apoplexic fits!

Obama (ptui!) said he would make coal plants too expensive to run. Looks like he’s making good on his promise. So mad I could spit nails. He’s a destroyer.

Baraq and at least two of his cabinet are on record as desiring “European” levels of gasoline pricing.
Why aren’t any Republicans calling him out on that?

Scrubber will be completed before 2015- not sure of timeline on Turk, but it’s on schedule.

It just means for burning of natural gas in a somewhat inefficient use of a finite resources that is better matched to end use in applications other than utility boilers or turbines. FGD scrubbers are also nasty beasts. Ever seen a sludge pond miles long and ten feet deep? That's what you end up with, nasty stuff running everywhere. Better to use nuclear for baseload electricity (zero emissions) and save the NG and coal for better uses.

Not so sure I’d be selling my AEP stock- they’re a huge LBO target.
