A decomissioned plant simply doesn't supply electricity to anything. They
still have to have staff to keep the whatsits from doing whatever. However,
the plant is emitting far less now than it did when they were up and
running. It's been decomissioned for years and years and they still haven't
gotten rid of the spent material or finished closing it down.

They tried bringing in a coal plant but voters stopped it.

What we need is what happened in the 70s when businesses were forced, along
with everyone else, to reduce power use. Try going into some of these
businesses that have enough lights going to light a whole city.
