About 10 years ago it switched to nat gas. The workforce went from 90 to about a dozen and it only runs when the grid needs the power and that's not often. The generating capacity is there the question is which fuel source will be used to generate it?  The big humongous labor intensive base load coal plants will continue to operate but have and will slowly continue to be replaced with smaller, more numerous cheap to operate clean fuel power plants. As for EV's say what you what about them but their fate like everything else will depend on whether or not the investment money keeps coming their way.</blockquote>
