First question I have for both of you is that coal provides an incredible amount of the baseload power generation in the country. Certainly in our area, for example, North Dakota, Two of our regional grid operators, MISO and SPP, both get a lot of their baseload from coal-fired electric plants we have in our state [North Dakota]. And we have got to have more baseload for the stability of the grid writ large. So if confirmed, start with you, Ms. Sweatt. (00:11–00:29)
CLAIM
Asserts that MISO and SPP rely heavily on coal-fired plants in North Dakota for baseload power.
