The governor wants it to be replaced with a renewable energy source. What that is will have to be worked out.

I'm very happy with this news and hopefully it's a sign that new fossil fuel plants won't be built here anymore.

Renewables are basically at the point where they're cheaper per MW already. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 10:42 5
- Yes if you have a place to put a giant solar array or wind farm. I don’t think you’d be able to do either in Astoria. - spamlet Oct 27, 10:48 3
  - Calgary is putting giant solar farms in the middle of the city. Different layout to be sure, but it's not undoable. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 11:21
  - What I'm understanding, and it's not much, is that they want the plant to be powered by renewable resources and not from natural gas as it is today. - Krusty Oct 27, 11:08
  - Tidal power! -- nm - znufrii Oct 27, 10:49
- The infrastructure bill is supposed to have funds for research into using "green hydrogen" but that's years away. -- nm - Krusty Oct 27, 10:45
