Having half of the Colstrip Power Plant shutting down could not only affect me but also friends and family. More than half of the people that work at the power plant will eventually lose their jobs from half of the power plant being shut down in upcoming years. Having power today is a big part of everybody’s life and having half of the power plant shutdown would cost money and time to come up with a different power source. Coming up with a new power source is going to cost taxpayers more money every year. While I believe that none of the power plant should be shut down I will provide you with both sides of the argument.
