Why Should You Care About Goal?

As masses of arctic air swept down from the North Pole to engulf much of the U.S. last winter, the nation's fleet of coal-fired power plants was called on to keep us warm amid frigid temperatures spawned by what's popularly known as the polar vortex. Demand for electricity to heat homes and businesses soared in January and February. Nearly all of the increased demand was met with power produced by coal-fired plants, many of which are scheduled to be retired in a few short years. During the cold spell, power plants fueled with natural gas ran at much lower capacities or sat idle as gas supplies were re-routed to end users for home heating.
