Have to be careful and a lot has to play out yet, but by them saying NG will continue to be a "very strong part" of the energy mix, and "gas generation will increase" under the plan, the expectation is from those analyzing the 1,600 page document (grew from 645 pages) that NG will not grow all that much. The EPA is predicting that renewables will account for 28% of the nation's generating capacity by 2030, up from 22% in the original proposal. Again, long way to go and there will be many legal challenges, but coal is expected to drop, NG not change much and renewables are to be much larger % of energy mix.
