And Democrat politicians with their "green new deal” want to shut down those 15 plants in order to "save” the planet  This is EXCELLENT!!  I knew the rough idea about the number of coal plants, but had not yet seen actual numbers until now.This makes the point.  Whatever the USA does or doesn’t do won’t make a Tinker’s Dam regarding CO2 unless the rest of the world, especially China and India reduces coal-fired power plants as well.     The whole “global warming” and “climate change” gambits by Democrats are to create a *supposedly* sound, scientific basis to justify a federal government power-grab and the passage of MORE laws to increase taxes and increased control of the privately owned power industry and its distribution.  Never forget the *main* motivation they have!, we will SAVE the planet!!”    100% Pure Bull
