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.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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 !!
