FirstEnergy to Close Six Coal-Fired Power Plants

Posted on January 28, 2012 by Vorys

Remember, it's not a bug - it's a feature:  "FirstEnergy Corp. announced today that its generation subsidiaries will retire six older coal-fired power plants located in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland by September 1, 2012. The decision to close the plants is based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), which were recently finalized, and other environmental regulations."  (FirstEnergy Press Release.)

Yes, U.S. EPA's regulations do have consequences for jobs.
