PacifiCorp in Oregon will not be adding coal-fired units to three of their power stations in Utah. They are afraid Congress is going to start raising carbon emission regulations and increase the cost of coal generation.
The spokesman for Rocky Mountain Power said the utility's plan for coal power were "met with a resounding thud" in Utah and Oregon.
This is just another example of a company much bigger and more experienced than SME seeing the handwriting on the wall:
- In October we learned of AEP settling a lawsuit for $4.6 billion dollars to cut pollution.
- Also in October we learned of 16 coal plants being scrapped and more than three dozen being delayed.
Although this question has been asked many times, in one form or another, it warrants asking until we receive a straight answer:
Why doesn't the Great Falls City Commission want to hear the "resounding thud" here and quit hitching Great Falls' wagon to a falling star?
