While this figure does account for operating and capital costs of likely environmental retrofits such as
scrubbers, baghouses, cooling towers, effluent limitations, and ash remediation, this figure does not include costs associated with
carbon dioxide, such as the type that might be imposed by the Clean Power Plan.
