GOPDD: US’s Largest Utility CEO Warns Of A Future Without Coal Plants

Apr 13, 2016 by Jen

(Via Daily Caller) Duke Energy CEO Lynn Good had some news to share about the fate of America’s coal-fired power plants — and it’s not good news.

Duke Energy is the largest energy producer in the U.S. and relies on lots of coal-fired power plants to deliver affordable electricity to their customers, but Good says Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations make it nearly impossible to build new coal plants.
Good told The Wall Street Journal’s Amy Harder in a Tuesday report that America was moving in the direction of getting almost none of its electricity from coal-fired power.
