AEP says it will close five coal plants to comply with EPA regs - The Hill's E2-Wire

Just what we need -less and now, thanks to the EA more expensive energy....Brilliant!

Utility giant American Electric Power said Thursday that it will shut down five coal-fired power plants and spend billions of dollars to comply with a series of pending Environmental Protection Agency regulations.

The company’s dramatic plan to comply with the regulations could give Republicans and moderate Democrats ammunition in their ongoing fight against EPA's efforts to impose new regulations aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants including mercury and arsenic."
