The wood pellets will definitely drive up the cost of electricity if they are replacing coal. The point is that they do not have to shut down the plant completely. They have to retrofit it to burn pellets too. This is still a lot cheaper than adding the equipment to make them compliant with the CO2 output requirements.

But why add expense for C02 removal when it won’t make a difference in atmospheric CO2?

By the same token - why spray urea in a boiler at $100-$500 per hour to remove NOx that won’t improve “regional haze” (commonly called fog) by any measurable amount?
