Can't imagine what it cost to have them tore down. Asbestos abatement was probably astronomical alone I imagine. I've done Powerhouse maintenance in a four Boiler/ Generator plant for 20 years now. Hot, dirty hard work with not a lot of new technology, think 1970 mindset, but your right about good paying jobs that are disappearing across the country. We shut three coal fired boilers down in the last two years and two of the four coal fired boilers at my unit are planned to mothballed in next four and seven years.
