I certainly had hoped for better news, though I can't say driving to Richmond was completely useless

You didn't say how much CO2 the old plant is producing.   What is the net gain (or loss) by swapping out this cleaner coal plant for the old coal plant?

...comparin' the new emissions from the natural gas plant, and combinig those with the emissions from the new plant, will there be a total net loss/gain when this is all said and done.

But also, it should be noted that just because they only gave out permits at lower levels than what was requested, that the plant will actually stick to those levels.

It's not uncommon at all for plants to exceed their permitted levels, and fines are fairly rare for such events.
