    Excellent news. But I wonder what Nevada’s total
    carbon footprint is now. Pennsylvania’s is huge.

    Alan,

    I don’t think it is particularly large, at least for coal plants. There are just two big coal plants, if I am not mistaken. The third, the big, dirty, obsolescent Mojave plant, was retired about a year ago.

Fantastic, here are the ground rules: No personal attacks, profanity, discriminatory language or threats. Keep it clean, civil and on topic. The Wildlife News does not fact check every comment but, when noticed, submissions containing clear misinformation, demonstrably false statements of fact or links to sites trafficking in such will not be posted.
