RICE!!!???? The EPA is not having any of that, they are hell bend on punishing companies, municipalities and electric coops who use those generators for peak loading offsets or for other reasons.
All the EPA has been doing is increasing the costs of energy with no regard to what it will cost, or how it harms the economy or affects jobs during "the worst economy since the Great Depression."
While I agree they (EPA) are makeing it more expensive to run IC engines, we still run a large number of them and are installing more.. Currently adding oxycats to 60 engines to meet MACT Z requirements and both our new plants will have SCR/OXYCATS.... Of course the added costs will eventually trikle down to our member communities ......

Seeing as you continue to refer to me as your buddy, I know you're a seriously deranged individual with little contact with reality other than your delusions. I would guess the real lucrative careers here are enjoyed by your pharmacist and/or dealer.

45% of americans work the rest wait to be fed.
EPA is against any more americans going to work.
So, you'd let industry be self-regulated?
When it's a choice say between the free dumping of PCBs in the river or $$$ for safe disposable, you think they'd choose which?
Those massive wind farms in West Texas didn't do diddly to help out the state's power grid during the terrible drought of the past two summers - when we needed it the most.
The wind DIDN'T blow during the critical peak months!
Perhaps if the wind farms would be located in Austin & Washington DC to capture the constant hot air blowing out of them..... lol
I for one would love to see all our coal-fired plants converted to natural gas.
You don't see a climate problem with using power sources that create CO2 emissions?

Well...my buddy..if thats true...you better watch out when Obamacare is fully implemented...I have a strange feeling medications will be rationed...And if that happens "MY BUDDY" I'll be right next to you holding AK-47
I wonder how much is truth and how much whining blather? Is it they can't or don't want to?
It's exactly what the auro industry said when emission control standards were enacted yet here we are with engines better, cleaner, and longer lived than ever.
We don't seem to be having a problem in Minnesota with complying with the newest EPA standards but we have been preparing for them for the last 10 years and now lead the nation in clean power and our rates have gone up very little.
Yes, DEMOCRATIC leadership that doesn't fight every regulation but WORKS with them.

That's just mindless nonsense. Environmental decisions are weighed by cost/benefit analysis. It is often in the best interest of the public at large to add costs to industry instead of subjecting the public to dangerous hazards -- like cancer causing chemicals dumped into the air by a factory.
to conclude that the purpose of these regulations is to discourage domestic industry has no factual support.
