You're living in the past, shadester. It makes economic and environmental sense.
Your vitamin D won't protect you from coal emissions. And hey, at lest we're not Texas and we CAN buy power from other states.
Like your shot at Turtle though, another treasonous GOPER.
Yeah tell me about false positives as the funeral parlors start working 24/7 down there do deal with people who test negative.....for life.
As always your conspiracy theory shit is undone by actual events.

“Remember natural gas would stay online till 2045,” Deputy Gov. Christian Mitchell said during an interview Friday. “We recognize that ... having some baseload power that is at least less bad than coal is going to be necessary to get us (to a carbon-free future). But the idea that we need to keep coal plants online forever just doesn’t hunt.”
Coal-fired power plants once provided more than half of the state’s electricity but are rapidly disappearing as energy markets squeeze out aging generators in favor of cheaper, cleaner gas and pollution-free wind and solar power.
Outlawing what’s left of the Illinois coal fleet would dramatically reduce the state’s contributions to smog- and soot-forming pollution that triggers asthma attacks and takes years off of people’s lives.
It also would erase Illinois from the list of top U.S. climate polluters. Prairie State alone is responsible for more than a quarter of the greenhouse gases emitted by the state’s power sector, according to federal records.
“If Prairie State operates indefinitely with an exemption from climate targets, it will derail any meaningful plan for climate action in the state and the nation,” said J.C. Kibbey, a clean-air advocate for the nonprofit Natural Resources Defense Council.
