Duke Energy CEO Lynn Good says the federal Clean Power Plan will force more of the company's coal plants to close, and that it is time for the nation to consider the role new nuclear plants may have in the energy mix.

How so?

It contradicts his born-again fossil lover's beliefs so it can't be true.

"Westar Energy (NYSE:WR) has reached an agreement
with an affiliate of NextEra Energy Resources to purchase another 200 megawatts
of Kansas wind energy."

doesn't replace any energy lost dew too plant closing, merely reprices existing production.

“This equipment has served Kansas customers well for more than a half century, decades longer than ever imagined,” said John Bridson, senior vice president, generation. “However, to invest the tens of millions of dollars to upgrade this equipment to keep it operating safely doesn’t make sense. People are using less energy, so we no longer need these old, small generating units to meet peak electrical demand. Plus, the current price to add more renewable energy is a reasonable alternative, so we’ll add more renewable energy, as needed.
