Fact: Grid operators around the country are warning us that we are retiring too many reliable power plants. MISO—the Midcontinent Independent System Operator—recently documented a decline in "accredited capacity" "due to thermal retirements" and increasing solar/wind. https://t.co/matoU7ar6d — PolitiTweet.org

Fact: The next 7 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 almost ⅕ of our already-scarce reliable capacity shut down. https://t.co/fh3aqf6AdH — PolitiTweet.org
