Thank these people when your Electric Bill doubles. It will take a couple years but it is coming. EPA monitors in the area show there is no hazard from these plants int he area as the pollution levels it measures are lowest then they have ever been. The health claims were baseless but people don'...

Diana Ross at her best. She is so awesome.

Actually you would need about 250 wind turbines to equal the capacity of somerset. They are such an eyesore and would spread out over a hugh area. Problem is they can't produce power on demand, average about a 20% capacity factor, are more expensive to install then a nuclear power plant and all...

If they are converting tonatural gas the operators need a sliding rate schedule to get compensated for the volatility of natural gas prices. It's only about twice the cost of coal now but if it goes back to early 2000 levels it will be about 6 times that of coal so that a $150 electric bill per m...

@ostime14 Because black guys do it the best, lol

Solar just isn't practical. It costs five times the capital investment for installed solar then it does nuclear. Except you can't compare it because nuclear power is there when you need it. Plus all the equipment is built overseas. The Obama admistration funneled over $500 million to a "US" solar...

what a bunch a crap, lol. These will be the first people bitching when there are rolling blackouts and their electric bill goes up 800%. What are you gonna replace this capacity with. Are the chinese going to continue to go hungry because they can't get coal to create electrical energy.

global warming=liberal hysteria Coal is burned cleanly in existingeen stuff. plants on tangentially fired boilers with electrostatic precipitators. All these green people who don't want to use coal as an energy source are sonsof the rich or people blessed with a public sector job or live off fu...

@dbl88888 Actually fossil and nuclear generation produce a much better return on investment. They are reliable, cheap and have no environmental impact if designed and operated properly. Plus no one asks for tax dollars to build them and we can build them with American labor and parts. Funny how ...

@leilarmendez IMHO you are very short sighted and not open minded. These plants burn coal in a manner that does not harm the environment. Why do you want t make electricity not affordable for the poor and middle class by shutting down these low cost producing plants. Plus it will hurt the local...

@sockosockosocko You don't know the science. You watch an Al Gore video and see water vapor coming out of stack and think your an expert. You probably have a degree in Liberal Arts and have never worked in Environmental Sciences or combustion engineering or Chemistry. Coal can and is burned clean...

Notice how clean the stack is. That is because this plant burns low sulfur, low ash powder river basin coal. She looks down a tunnel. Her experience is "rallying" "campaigning", etc. Legitimate studies have shown that closing down Fisk & Crawford will have little to no effect on environmental qua...

hey she is pretty cute. Yeah Al Gore is an idiot, lol

I thought they didn't burn coal in Californa? They do have to import about 25% of their power mainly from Arizona and Mexico. Wonder how they make that cheap power? California electric rates are some of the highest in the country. That is part of the problem with the high unemployment.

I really feel sorry for these people but where are their families. It appears none of these people have productive jobs. They really need family and volunteers for help. The taxes on the working lower and middle class are increasing and we are working longer hours to support these people. It ...

Does this fat ass work? or just spew out crap, lol. He probably defaulted on his student loan or his Dad paid it off.

Okay lets put a couple latinos in back of the white privledged lawyers. Faith looks loike she has never done any manual labor in her life. The ELPC people would never live in Pilsen. Wake up Pilsen the union people who work in at those plants whether as contractors or plant personnel can relate m...

actually that isn't smoke coming out of the stack, it is mainly steam.Studies by reputable scientific organizations have shown closing Fisk & Crawford will have little to know effect on environmental pollution in the area. PERRO is all opinion and non scientific. But hey close those plants. Repl...

If we go to a socialistic society I just want to make sure the lame and lazy will do their share of the work. I agree with Moore the Stock markets and banking need to be changed. I'm in a credit union. Socialism didn't work very well in China. China is going to a free market it is really bringing...

Actually burning coal is pretty clean energy. The EPA has monitors aournd coal fired plants. Air modeling based on this sampling and compliance tests where stack gasses are samples(and continuoulsy monitored) demonstrates that burning coal has no adverse effect in the areas. All these environment...

There are EPA monitors all around areas where they burn coal. There is no evidence that coal plants produces any health hazards. Studies on the environment based on true scientific monitoring shows virtually no effect on the environment. All these environmentalist base their view on opinion, assu...

Solar and wind never become viable. Society needs massive amounts of energy due to large populations.Wind turbines are only being built because of goverment subsidies.They are a disaster, cost more then a nuclear plant (installed $/kw) capacity factors of only about 25%(see DOE statistics) , thei...

Awesome I have large investments in Natural Gas. If they close these plants I will make a lot money. They have to replace these plants with gas plants. Of course they will be built away from the city. That way the that city can't tax their power. Invest in UNG. For every renewable MW installed y...

Yes shut these plants down and replace the generation with units out of the city and away from the suburbs. We can build non union gas fired plants for people who live in those areas. It will really help the local economy's of the new sites. It can be done now that ComEd has run new transmission ...

Yeah continue to support this nitwit whose idea of economic development is to move Gintamo to Northern Illinois. It is staggering the number of private businesses his lack of leadership, tax increases and irresponsible tax policies have forced out of Illinois. That is why people are getting poore...

Of course they are backing him and have contributed to his campaign. In return he has raised our state income taxes 3% and is talking on a 5% tax on retirement income to pay them. Plus he made the University of Illinois at Champaign the most expensive public school int he country. This guy is a b...

@thinkingthingsthru

Plus there is tremendous subsidies for renewable even though it is a waste.

I agree with this man. We waste tremendous resources on renewable energy subsidies and research. We waste food on making ethanol and sudsidize it while millions go hungry. All these environmentalists are actually the closed mided people who are unwilling to listen. There is no true scietific evi...

@intr0verti What about all those scientists with their government grants to prove this and then they give dum dum(Al Gore) the nobel prize. What a joke reminds me of the predictions of the man eating ants that were going to come from South America and destroy the United States. We need more coal ...
