How the Navajo Generating Station closing foreshadows the future of coal

The Navajo Generating Station closing is a case study for what will
be repeated dozens of times across the west: The coal industry has
been declining for decades and many plants won't survive. From
President John F. Kennedy in the 1960s to current President Donald
Trump, saving coal has been a large talking point for politicians.
However, because it's cheaper to meet electricity demand with
other forms of renewable energy, many coal plants are finding it
hard to stay open.  This week's episode of The Gaggle podcast
looks at the impact NGS's closing has on the plant workers and
local communities. We hear from Ryan Randazzo, a business reporter,
who breaks down what is in store for the future.  In this
episode you'll hear:  What economic harm will be caused by the
