What replaces these coal-fired plants as they are shut down?

Please say that at least the power generation capacity WILL be replaced by an equal amount of natural gas-fired capacity, and when will Thorium-fueled Molten Salt reactors be going on line? Do not give any hokum that wind or solar power generation is going to replace the decommissioned coal-fired plants. They are both far too unreliable and actually very cumbersome in terms of restricting land use devoted to their placement, and requiring effectual placement, in areas where there is relative certainty of some wind or solar activity, and close enough to urban centers to make their use cost effective without having many miles of high-tension delivery lines.

And what is this business of decommissioning hydroelectric power generation. That is reliable “renewable” non-carbon power generation, and the technology is well developed.

It’s not about power generation, energy, climate change, global warming or pollution.

It’s about CONTROL of the MANY by the FEW who can enjoy the benefits of the LABORS of the MANY....................
