[QUOTE="Reprobait, post: 297151, member: 777"] There is no guarantee of a profit or a demand for the power. If I remember right from an article a few months ago the Coal Creek plant is losing money. If the state forced utilities to buy this power, would other plants be forced to close? The state could get the plant for nothing, but if it loses money when do you stop? We would be on the hook for decommissioning costs. The DGC plant at Beulah is hemorrhaging money. Should the state prop that up in some way? I don't know what the answers are. This stuff does need to be thought out with an eye to the future and not just clinging to the past.
