Eleven AGs Submitted Comments Opposing Bailout of Coal-Fired Power Plants

OCTOBER 23, 2017

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey led a coalition of 11 attorneys general in submitting comments opposing the Energy Department’s proposal to subsidize nuclear and coal power plants. In their comments, the attorneys general warned that the Energy Department “does not analyze how its Proposal would affect the wholesale electricity markets, provides no assessment of the Proposal’s costs, makes no attempt to define or quantify the Proposal’s benefits, and provides no support for making such a dramatic change on an expedited basis.”
