There is no end in sight.
This is where the rest of the country is blindly headed while being
lied to that energy will be cheaper from renewable sources. They say
that because there is no fuel costs to run the plants. But it's not
true. The construction costs and the maintenance costs (which are
also turning out to be far hire than anyone projected) more than
offset the operating (fuel and maintenance) costs of existing gas or
nuclear plants. Add to this the apparent belief that fat profits are
needed to keep capital acquisition costs low for the new
plants.....and you get a whole lotta f'd consumers.

has to be paid for. Since that's how utilities make their money, be
happy you support their shareholders.
And "energy is cheaper" is a strawman. Old power plants will be retired
due to age and replaced with something new no matter what.

They can outlive you 10x over. When will Hoover dam be retired?

They can outlive you 10x over. When will Hoover dam be retired?That's real news! I had no idea Hoover (Boulder) Dam was to be retired
and replaced. Maybe the dry lake bed can be the site of your proposed
solar mega facility.
Or are you just enjoying a bad faith misinterpretation of "old power
plants" because I didn't specify coal or other carbon-using plants?

Same lie. Coal plants and Nat Gas as well as nuclear can all be refitted
and continue operation indefinitely.
But you'd rather spew BS lies to justify skyrocketing utility costs.
