Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
Obama's EPA sitting on billions of dollars in anti-coal regulations. Of course, Obama has nothing in mind with which to replace coal, and will have nothing for the next 20 years. He certainly has nothing, now.
President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency has devoted an unprecedented number of bureaucrats to finalizing new anti-coal regulations that are set to be released at the end of November, according to a source inside the EPA.
More than 50 EPA staff are now crashing to finish greenhouse gas emission standards that would essentially ban all construction of new coal-fired power plants. Never before have so many EPA resources been devoted to a single regulation. The independent and non-partisan Manhattan
Institute estimates that the EPA’s greenhouse gas coal regulation will cost the U.S. economy $700 billion. [after all the guess work is done, this number will be much closer to "one trillion dollars," and the poorer folks in that region will not be able to afford to heat their homes - blog editor]
The rush is a major sign of panic by environmentalists inside the Obama administration. If Obama wins, the EPA would have another four full years to implement their anti-fossil fuel agenda. But if Romney wins, regulators will have a very narrow window to enact a select few costly regulations that would then be very hard for a President Romney to undo. . . . . . visit the Washington Examiner for the rest of this story.
