Thanks largely to irrational EPA actions, the next 7.5 years are scheduled to be a bloodbath of reliable capacity retirements. There are 93 GW of announced coal plant retirements, plus up to 92 more GW are at risk retiring early due to new EPA rules. That’s ⅕ reliable capacity! — PolitiTweet.org

Arguably the largest single cause of today’s electricity crisis, in which reliable power plants are being shut down without reliable replacements, is the EPA—which has aggressively acted to shut down coal plants without considering the catastrophic costs of an unreliable grid. — PolitiTweet.org

We need government to recognize our electricity emergency and immediately reform the EPA to do proper cost-benefit analysis on its actions so it doesn’t destroy our grid. Instead, the IRA just gave the EPA more money and power to recklessly attack fossil fuel use. https://t.co/zOiAKdUCQr — PolitiTweet.org
