The final coal-fired power plants in New England are slated to shutter in the coming years, making it the second region to phase out the energy source that powered the U.S. economy for decades.
In an announcement late last month, New Hampshire-based power provider Granite Shore Power said it had reached an agreement with federal officials to shutter its Schiller Station in 2025 and its Merrimack Station by mid-2028. The action underscores the region's and, more broadly, the nation's steady march toward a future dominated by green energy. Environmental activists have called for this change for years — energy advocates have warned against it.
This is national suicide.Thousands will die from heat; millions will die from cold.
IIRC didn’t the Germans freeze their asses off last winter because of this stupidity?
Yes, and they’re bringing back 3 coal-fired plants...
That isn’t what they will be ushering in since green energy will not be able to power the grid. High prices, scarcities and blackouts is what they will usher in. Epic Fail In Process.
What fuel will keep them warm during the Winter?
Totalitarians cheered the announcement as they stopped driving their gas powered vehicles.
I hear it gets cold in New England during the winter months, without electricity I imagine a lot of people in New England will have a miserable winter over the next few years.
It is going to get very cold in New England.
Hey here is a thought, they have a lot of trees why not cut them down and burn them for heat and cooking? Oh, but burning wood is bad for Mother Earth, better humans die in the cold then offend Mother Earth. /s
Environmentalist (and politicians) are trying to kill us all.
Meanwhile China is building about two new coal plants a week and burning more coal than the rest of the world combined.
England’s move is self-serving virtue signaling and will not make the least difference.
Yes, and we here in southern New Hampshire eagerly look forward to our brownouts, grid failure and massive price increases!
The addition of an off-grid solar PV system with generator backup is rapidly become more than a “nice-to-have”.
Duh, it’s morning. NEW England’s virtue signaling.......
Besides. It’s pointless what with the number of people here who heat with wood.
Idiots, complete idiots
They will buy power from neighboring states at a premium - a model that applies across governments and industries. But hey, we’re not doing the dirty generating.
Ushering in nothing, no energy ushered in, just out.
New England turns into Johannesburg.
That eco-scumbag terrorist Billy Bob Ayres, stated that “25 million have to die” here, didn’t he? I think that number is much higher now, according to their “plan”.
“This is national suicide.Thousands will die from heat; millions will die from cold.”
Well.... when you do the logic.... ie that the same people pushing for these “green energy” policies are the elitist ghouls that want to depopulate the planet...
it all makes perfect sense.
