pix from the 350.org Summer Heat protest last year of the Brayton Point coal plant, a dinosaur of a plant that kills dozens of New Englanders each year. It's shutting down in a few years, and some people here at dKos seem to think that's a terrible, terrible thing because it might cause electricity prices to increase. Doubtful that that's the case, with all the planned wind and solar around here, but that seems to be the going sentiment.

Solar use will push energy costs up in Mass.
Massachusetts utility customers could get hit with more than $1 billion in higher electricity bills over the next two decades under Governor Deval Patrick’s plan to dramatically expand solar power in the state, government and industry officials said Tuesday.
A top state official said that the average residential customer would pay $1 to $1.50 more a month under the Patrick plan, which aims to cut air pollution and create more jobs in the growing solar energy industry.
OH NOES!!!! CLOSING DOWN BRAYTON POINT, IT'S JUST LIKE ENRON!
