Expect Manchin to be a good little dem and fall in line with obumbles. He caved on gun control, he will cave on the carbon tax.
As it is, APCO is shuttering 2 coal fired plants around the upper Kanawha Valley thanks to the damn EPA. Now they are going to have to spend 337 million to redo some main transmission lines. Guess who gets to pay? Yep! The customers. 
And if John Amos has a problem during peak power usage, which around here is in the winter, expect rolling black outs. It happened back in 96.
Another pet bitch of mine is the government wants the power companies to build natural gas plants... and then they spend 10 years sitting on the permit process!!!!
On the other hand, I guess we will get to watch the dummies in Ohio, Kentucky and WV cry a river due to power being more expensive. Won't hurt me too much as I heat with gas. Gets a little expensive in the summer though.
Yeah, Manchin is a good little toadie for Barry and JayJay. He'll roll over whenever his masters tell him to, as much as they tell him to.
Which 2 are they shutting down? I've run RT.2 and RT.35 from Winfield to Pt. Pleasant to Ravenswood. I know of 2 small plants along the Ohio River between Pt. Pleasant and Ravenswood. Are they the ones?
I've seen John Amos from both sides of the river, from Poca, it looks like you are right underneath those cooling towers! I have to bite the bullet as well during the summer, but I heat with wood.
I hope DUmmies freeze to death come winter, especially if Barry gets his globull warming agenda passed. My light bill has almost DOUBLED since 2007, so much so, that I installed an electric water heater to replace my gas one, because propane has TRIPLED! (No NG line close to my residence, I live in the boonies!
