I hear there are many plants offline also, there apparently is a system in place that accounts for annual environmental emissions, and some plants have met their annual allottment. My take is its all a plan by left wing environmentalist wackos to put up so many roadblocks that plants cant be built. I hear 2 were just approved, but there have been none built in a very long time, despite the population in the sun belt. In summary:poor management as pointed out earlie.
