Where is the electricity going to come from? Especially if they are closing nuclear and coal-fired power plants. They are building some renewables, but prices for electricity were high this year because wind speeds were low.


Renewables and nuclear. That new sources of energy should be carbon free goes without saying. New coal is obviously a non-starter.

That being said, they are already well on their way with this process. Check out the decline in fossil fuel electric generation over the past half decade!
