An important point about Michael Moore's terrible film (from a friend of mine who's been involved in the space for a very long time): it's irrelevant. Talk-radio hosts and fossil fuel enthusiasts may glom onto it, but it won't change the decisions that utilities make. 1/4

And as Donald Trump's term in office has shown, even the biggest bully with the largest pulpit can't do anything to reverse this trend. He promised to save coal -- and has had the largest retirement of coal-powered capacity in history happen under his watch. 3/4
