<p>Art,</p>
<p>Gas has replaced it.</p>
<p>The NE grid CO2 intensity increased.</p>
<p><strong>Closing Vermont Yankee Increased New England CO2 Emissions:</strong> The closing of Vermont Yankee increased NE grid CO2 emissions from 28 million ton in 2014 to 30.2 million ton in 2015. See URL. The NE System CO2 intensity was 730 in 2013, 726 lb/MWh in 2014 and 747 lb/MWh in 2015. See table 1.1 in URL.</p>

<p>It will be interesting to see Vermont's CO2 emissions (one of the top three states in the USA) since the Vermont Yankee nuclear station closed. Presumably that plant contributed a large share of the state's load. Has Hydro Quebec essentially replaced it, or have older dirtier plants filled the void?</p>
