The environmentalist fanatical whack jobs with the help of this administration are destroying this country's ability to become energy independent....The End of America!!!
states the article. But lets go ahead and keep ignoring facts and blame the EVIL and ANTI-American EPA. Never mind that the EPA was created by a Republican, and cleaned up issues like this:
(Picture was taken at Noon in Donora, Pennsylvania, 1948)
I'm all for going back to acid rain. We don't have enough and wildlife and nature has been thriving WAY too much.
1948? I guess we should stop farming so we don't have any dust storms too with the recent drought? Those folks who starve will just be placed next to those that freeze in the winter right?
Thank you for posting a picture that proves my point even more. Donora wouldn't look like that now if it hadn't been for the pesky EPA stepping in.
You do realize that the very plants that the EPA is forcing to shut down, are currently operating, right? So, just how much "better" will Donora look with them shut down? Especially with windows boarded up and buildings abandoned as jobs are eliminated?
When our generating capacity drops below demand...we damned well better pull the plug on DC first. The idiots passing these regulations and empowering these bureaucrats have no clue about the impcat of their decisions.

And you are totally missing the point. By your argument, if the EPA was not around, the plants would not be closing, correct? But we both then posted pictures, before and after showing quite blatantly the EPA's direct effect on pollution in a specific city? So if the plants did not have to follow EPA standards, then your picture would not have been possible at all. If the EPA disappeared right now, how long do you think it would be before the original picture was a statement of things once again?

The EPA is not "forcing" any power plant to close. Nobody from the EPA will show up, remove all the workers, turn out the lights, shut down the furnaces and lock the gates. It is the OWNERS of those plants who will make the decision to close rather than meet the new requirements mandated by Congress.

LOL somehow I knew you would say that. EPA was established in 1970. If what you say is true that town should have been buried under coal dust by then. Keep howling.
