You don't have to trust it, it's fact. I have friends working to help build them all over the country. There are several in Indiana being built as we speak. They tried to get me to go to 2 or 3 different ones in that state in the last 2 years. I have been called to go to several different states just this year to work on them. I just chose to stay close to home lately. New coal units being built as we speak is a fact.

Even if enough coal fired power plants were being built to replace all of the lost production capacity of the ones that are being shut down - which is not happening, the early shutdowns are driving utility prices skyward just as Obama promised. He could not get the cap and trade bill passed in Congress, so he is attempting to achieve the same result without legislation through tightening EPA controls without the consent of Congress. It is like breading out windows and then claiming that new jobs were created in the glass industry. When the economy finally recovers, there will be widespread brown outs and blackouts.
