All for the children who will be living in the dark and eating rice soon.
" The report, titled, Economy Derailed: State-by-State Impacts of the EPA Regulatory Train Wreck, found that jobs are the target of many of the EPA’s regulations. Many of the new regulations from the EPA are causing power plants to shut down across the country. Additionally, these new rules are destroying jobs, raising energy costs, and decreasing the reliability of electricity. Over 100 power plants could be shut down with these pending regulations. The EPA is holding up previously approved permits for coal mining. And they are not shutting down coal plants because of their new air quality regulations. This puts 27,000 jobs at risk.
Not only are jobs being cut by these new restrictions, but they are also inadvertently increasing the costs of various energies. It has been discovered that the environment’s quality has been improving, with a decrease in emissions of mercury, carbon monoxide, ozone, lead, nitrogen oxide, particulates, fine particulates, and sulfur dioxide. Although this has been found the EPA insists on creating more regulations to fix the non-existent continuing problem with the environment. Americans can expect to see an average increase of 10.35 percent on their electricity rates. They are cutting several thousands of jobs and additionally increasing the costs you pay for these energies."
What consequences? The government trying to destroy the coal industry? Why is that a consequence when co2 is the environmental culprit which we breath out every time we exhale. I guess you will deal with the consequences when the EPA declares you should be killed for polluting the environment? Something tells me you will be fine with it.

GREAT, the coal industry needs to die off, clean coal is a lie. With the price of Nat gas there is little need for coal.
The EPA isn't strong enough. All of the original 1970s era laws have been weakened so much they are barely enforceable. Industry is literally getting away with murder.

Meanwhile China continues to build coal fired power plants and utilize cheap coal, shipped from the USA that the EPA will not allow to be used here at home.
No one looks at the big picture, we are nothing on this big planet. You are right, we cant survive without electricity and we may have to look at some cave drawings to see how they generated electricity to survive. So what, at least your kids and there kids and so on will have an earth to live on. You think about the small things that dont matter.

Until the EPA sets their sights on nat gas............
