Observe the trajectory of American electricity for the next 7 years according to Energy Information Administration announcements: 72 GW of announced reliable power plant shutdowns and only 26 GW of additions. This is really bad. But the Biden EPA plans to make it far, far worse. https://t.co/xyTOobTXFO — PolitiTweet.org

Today, America’s "coal fleet" has ~200 GW of electricity generation capacity — down ⅓ (>100 GW) from just 10 years ago. It is currently at >20% of our reliable capacity. If we lose any more coal plants without reliable replacements, we could easily see grid collapse. — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden administration should recognize the electricity crisis and act immediately to reverse the policies causing the rapid shutdowns of reliable power plants. The EPA should be a major focus, since EPA policies such as the 2015 "MATS" rule have shut down many plants. — PolitiTweet.org
