Wrong, the EPA did. You don't shut down a perfectly serviceable billion dollar coal fired power plant so you can spend a billion dollars replacing it with a gas fired plant. The claim that the later is cheaper doesn't pass the stupid test.

It seems you've never restored an old building to current standards. It's ALWAYS more expensive.
Most, if not all coal fired plants use natural gas to fire the coal.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! They use natural gas to fire the coal? You are boob of monumental proportions. It's so funny when you try to sound like you know what you're talking about.
What does a perfectly serviceable coal fired power plant have to do with an old building? The EPA isn't requiring the plant to meet the regulations in place when it was built. It's requiring the plant to meet new much more draconian regulations. These regulations are virtually impossible for a coal fired plant to meet.

How do most, if not all coal fired plants fire the coal?
What does "fire the coal" even mean? Are you asking how do they start it? What difference does that make? If they used natural gas, would that mean the power plant could use natural gas as fuel? No it wouldn't, douche bag.

We aren't talking about 50-60 year old power plants. We're talking about power plants that are 10-20 years old. And, yes, a 50 year old power plant is often perfectly serviceable.

They already have natural gas in the chamber to create heat. Why do they need coal?
ROFL! No they don't have natural gas in the "chamber," whatever that is, to provide heat. Do you know anything at all about power plants?
We aren't talking about 50-60 year old power plants. We're talking about power plants that are 10-20 years old.
Here's a list. Show us.
Coal Plants Affected by EPA Regulations
And, yes, a 50 year old power plant is often perfectly serviceable.
You've changed from 'perfectly serviceable' to 'often perfectly serviceable.' Backpedal Canadian, backpedal. LOL!!!!
How am I supposed to determine the age of the power plants from a dot on a map?
And, yes, "perfectly serviceable" is 100% accurate in the case of power plants that are perfectly serviceable.
