The coal fired generating plant most near to me (about 4 miles) is closing this year (2015) because it is not cost effective (if even possible) to retrofit it to meet draconian EPA regulations.
I've lived nearby for decades and know many folks who do work or have worked at this plant over the past decades. These jobs were considered prime jobs in this area. Many farms (not to mention many more houses, cars, tractors, trucks, etc., etc., etc.) have been bought and paid for by the wages earned at this plant. No longer.
Did I mention that the next most near generating plant (about 10 miles away) will close within two years for the same nonsensical reasons?
Did I also fail to mention that the third most near generating plant (about 30 miles away) will also close within two years for the same nonsensical reasons?
At one time or another within the past few decades each of these three plants was considered one of the most modern and efficient (sometimes, the largest) generating plants in the country, if not the world, not to mention the best place to work in the area.
