A relatively new report form the Union of Concerned Scientists outlines the potential for new coal fired power plants, and expanded production from existing plants, to overwhelm greenhouse gas reduction plans in the Northeast. It is 44 pages, but makes relatively easy reading. It does a good job of explaining transmission pricing, as well as the role of proposed new transmission lines.
Lots of discussion of TrAIL, PATH, and they highlight Longview! Right here in our back yard!!!
Look in Appendix B for a list of the existing coal plants with the greatest potential to expand their greenhouse gas emissions.
