Testifying before the US Senate Energy Committee, all four FERC Commissioners express concern with the current pace of coal-fired power plant retirements and its growing threat to grid reliability.

FERC Chairman Phillips: “I am extremely concerned.”

FERC Commissioner Danly: “The results I fear are going to be catastrophic.”

We should be building MORE coal plants, not retiring the ones that are in operation now.

Double or triple -- or quadruple -- the number of existing plants.
Burn that coal !!
