[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4781697, member: 58386"] Indeed. Trump went to the coal belt states promising them that he would bring back coal, coal generation and of course their jobs. Anybody who actually paid attention to what was going on laughed at him and those who believed him because they already knew that the utilities had for at least a decade prior to Trump's campaign had already been transitioning to cleaner and cheaper fuel sources made necessary by utility rate deregulation. I sat in on a presentation by the president of the utility grid serving my region in which he pointed to how the grid can now place new plants where the power is most desired and needed. They don't take long to set up and unlike the old coal plants which take a battalion sized group of people to run them these new plants going in require only about two dozen people at the most to run them. That along with new storage battery technology allows the grid to manage and maintain a more stable and dependable electric power network. [/QUOTE]
