The coops just realized they were going to be stuck with the bill and Duke was cheaper. Duke burns coal for something like 75% of their generation and will be heavily affected by cap and trade as well. This was an economic decision and has more to do with Santee Cooper being having poor foresight and generation diversity than anything else. Duke is building a coal plant in NC. Why did they get er done and the Santee serfdom failed? Stop ranting about insignificant environmental groups and privatize Santee Cooper for crying out loud.

It explains so much. http://www.greenyour.com/body/personal-care/mouthwash The major chemical culprits in mouthwash Coal-tar colorants and synthetic dyes: Coal tar is a byproduct of the distillation of bituminous coal and is harmful to the environment, is a known carcinogen in animals, and can cause skin rashes and hives. In an ingredient list, if the color's name is preceded by FD&C, it's certified for use in food, drugs, and cosmetics. Common colorants found in mouthwashes include FD&C Blue 1 and FD&C Green 3, which are carcinogenic. FD&C Yellow 5 and FD&C Yellow 6 contain impurities that have been proven to cause cancer when applied to skin. Actually, you probably do gargle with coal. It explains so much.

While we slip into Third World status here we will breathe clean air. Wonder what the US will be like in 50 years after I've gone on?

You have to come to the area to appreciate how much this area needed this project, and SC needs power to grow and attract jobs. ALCOA and Nucor are complaining about not being able to grow because of not enough electricity. I sat down with Ken Ard and others locally, who have been working on this for three years, and they now have to go back to the drawing board, and try to salvage their backyards again, all because Cap & Trade blew the project costs through the roof. It doesn't seem like much in Chucktown, Spartanburg or Columbia, but this was everything to rural Florence County.
