Mount Tom Station : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mount Tom Station
The Mount Tom Station was a coal-fired power plant located in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was the last coal-fired plant in Western Massachusetts before its closure in December 2014. ==History==
The plant was opened in 1960, and was briefly converted to run on oil for ten years after 1970, before returning to burning coal. Starting in 2009, it no longer became profitable to run the station except in times of high demand due to the Natural Gas Boom in the United States. The boom has resulted in the price of coal growing relative to the price of natural gas which is reduces the competitiveness of coal. In 2014, GDF SUEZ Energy North America, the owner of the plant, announced that they would be closing the plant later that year citing economic concerns. The town of Holyoke plans to clean up and re-purpose the site in the future.〔
