You've got to wonder about the whole plan. Some of our coal plants aren't all that old, and instead of running them to EOL, they are being forced to close early. Now, the plan is green energy with natural gas to make up the difference. But why would anyone invest in a natural gas plant now, knowing that some time in the future the government may kill those before their time is up? Basically you have to plan to make your money back long before the plant reaches EOL, and that will be tougher to do with a cap on prices.
