Don't say that those of us who voted against Obama in 2008 did not warn you that this might happen. A new study estimates that this country will lose 10 percent of its electrical power production as a result of Obama EPA regulation changes. This number includes 7 power plants in Kentucky along, including the Big Sandy plant in Louisa.

Let me emphasize that the list of likely closures is only an estimate but this is the kind of impact that an Obama second term could have in the four years during which he would not be constrained by the pressure of another campaign.

I will also note up front that this study was prepared by a pro-energy group. I would not expect such a report advocating an intelligent energy policy to originate from the Obama administration, Media Matters, or other anti-capitalist organizations.

More misguided, wrong information, at least on the Big Sandy plant. They were going to shut down the big unit and turn unit 1 into a gas fired unit, but after more consideration, they will keep the big unit going, and turning the smaller unit into a gas fired unit. The coal scrubbers on the big unit(Unit 2) start next fall. I am in direct lines of talk with someone that is at the top of the chain at BSP, and know that my words are fact. to be honest, I went to school with one of the top guys on the chain. Research before you post false info Hoot. Phillip Sporn which is out of my locals jurisdiction will close, but what the report doesn't tell is that Mountaineer(1/4 mile down the road, with all updated equipment) is taking over for the dinosaur Sporn(built in the 40's) plant.
