Technologies Make Economic Sense
--------------
Even
before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released its proposed rules this

companies began converting older plants to cleaner technologies because they
think it makes economic sense. The Bremo Power plant in Virginia has converted
itself from the state's oldest coal burning facility to one powered by natural
gas.
