scheduled closure

While I added a section titled scheduled closure, the Baltimore Sun article uses the phrase "Alternative Fuel Sources"...

the Sierra Club Statement uses the language

https://www.sierraclub.org/press-releases/2020/11/sierra-club-and-stoney-beach-association-statements-talen-energy-s-commitment "Today, Talen Energy announced that the company would stop burning coal at the Montour, Brandon Shores, and Wagner power plants by the end of 2025, pending approvals by relevant state agencies. In addition to moving off coal, Talen publicly committed to develop 1 GW of solar and electricity storage facilities, beginning with a 100MW solar development adjacent to the Montour site in Pennsylvania and storage at Wagner in Maryland. "

Perhaps the article should be modified to state "Talen has committed to developing storage at Wagner"?

The language of "Alternative Fuel Sources"leads one to think they will convert to biomass or gas but the Sierra Club press release seems to indicate they are making the site into storage.
