If you are a regular listener to Just Two Good Old Boys then you already know my background. However, for those who are new or do not listen. I have spent a large portion of my career in the US Electric industry and I have a bit of standing to offer an opinion on this topic.

If this holds true new and clean coal plants like Luminant’s Oak Grove power plant will be shut down long before they are no longer economically viable. Oak Grove has a local mine sites that can provide decades of cheep fuel. This will not only impact the reliability of the ERCOT grid but it will also have a devastating impact on the local economy. Oak Grove and its associated mine sites employ approximately 1000 people.

Quick thoughts:

  1. Government was so cocksure the law being in the books for as long as it has been meant they didn’t have to take the case seriously so they didn’t even try to fight it. Mistake.
  2. It sets a new precedent for age discrimination being possible under 40.
  3. It blows up long standing federal firearm purchase law. Which is pretty incredible. You’ll have people who will be accusing the court of making law with this decision.
