CRYSTAL RIVER, Fla. — An energy company has agreed to retire two coal-fired units at a power plant north of Orlando.
The Crystal River power plant is run by Progress Energy Florida and has a total of four units. Environmentalists say the plant is one of the dirtiest in the nation. An executive with Progress Energy Florida says shutting down the units will cut emissions of carbon dioxide by 5.5 million tons a year.
The two units were built in the 1960s and can generate enough power for 53,000 homes. They'll be retired after the utility builds a nuclear plant 10 miles away. The plant is expected to open in 2016.
