Can we safely predict that this will be the subject of a lawsuit by solar, wind, and natural gas using electricity?

This is of a piece with Trump insisting that aircraft carriers use steam catapults as opposed to “digital” (actually an electromagnetic launching system).

Not only will nuclear and coal fired plants continue to close, no new ones are being constructed. Energy production is very diverse now. Coal mining is not needed anymore. This was a coal lobby plan, probably Murray's idea. Fortunately Rick Perry is a complete idiot. The chances of him actually implementing this scheme are lower than his IQ.

We have a Coal Fired pizza place in our town. I always want to call them and ask if they're using bitumen or anthracite.
