EPA poised to formally repeal Clean Power Plan in major blow to Obama’s climate legacy

[Muhammed]

Yep, lets go ahead and get rid of all the regulations for clean water and air.

Gotta thin out the herd somehow, might as well do it making the rich richer and killing the environment.

The CPP has absolutely nothing to do with the clean air or clean water, jackass.

Wrong, liberal schemes are much worse than having an education.

If Americans were better educated, there'd be many fewer liberal politicians and fewer liberal schemes.

Right.... yet, the more educated a person, the more likely he is liberal. Odd that reality does not match up with the thoughts flowing from your colon. Wait, no it isnt...

Yea, they are so educated they don't know how to vote in midterms.

We shall see, asshole.

What you think this time will be any different? lol

Take a good look at what businesses do in China, India and all over the world that doesn't have these regulations. Even here they attempt to go around the rules and break the law.

What do you think they will do. Duh.

You see this thread Matthew?

Pittsburgh thanks you for bringing back the good ole winning days.

Is that how Pittsburgh looked when Obama was elected?

What Pittsburgh Looked Like When It Decided It Had a Pollution Problem

So repealing the so-called Clean Power Plan wouldn't make the slightest difference in the cleanliness of Pittsburgh's air.

That's all we needed to know.

BTW. How do you know that isn't fog in the picture?

This is interesting.

Donora, Pennsylvania - environmental, pollutants, history, industrial, human, health

In reading more about Donora, PA, I learned that Stan Musial and both Ken Griffeys were from there.

Musial's dad died in the Donora Smog incident.

Another picture taken in the 50s. You haven't got anything taken after the Reagan administration. Also, that still looks like fog.

Case closed.

Looks like fog...except for the soot on the car.

How is it relevant to 21st Century America?

Beats having an actual education, right?

Well, if dolts like you get their way, we will see that again.

None of you want to accept the Clean Power Plan for what it really was---an attempt to grind the U.S. economy to a crawl to allow the rest of the world to catch up. Obama's job was to get in power and put on the brakes. America last.

Cry in your pinko appletinis.

You fucking dumb asshole, both wind and solar are now produce electricity cheaper than any fossil fuel or nuclear. They are also cheaper to install. Once installed, they require no pipelines, rail lines, or mines to support them. And grid scale batteries are making them power 24/7.

 

[TheOldSchool]

We will be dependent on fossil fuels for at least another 75 years.

You're hoping we're not still relying on 19th century technologies for our energy in 75 years? You 'Murica hating, gaystappo libtard

EPA plans to repeal major Obama-era climate rule

Freedom wins and the planet will be none the wiser.

So you're an advocate of Dirty Power are ya?

May I suggest Beijing. And you won't need to wait --- it's already your kinda place.

CO2 does not cause smog.

 

[skookerasbil]

Huge win for the poor.

Clearly....should the EPA make this change, the left is likely to go even crazier.

Ten percent of all of the electricity generated in the U.S. in March came from wind and solar power, marking the first such milestone in U.S. history, according to a new U.S. Energy Information Administration report.

The EIA estimates that wind and solar farms likely generated 10 percent of America’s electricity in April as well, which would be another first, according to the report.

This year’s milestone shows that renewables are becoming a major source of electricity in the U.S. and can no longer be considered “alternative” energy, said Christopher Clack, CEO of the power grid modeling firm Vibrant Clean Energy and a former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration researcher.

U.S. Reports a Major Milestone in Wind and Solar Power

Tesla CEO Elon Musk — whose company makes electric cars and has a new solar roof panel division — reminded more than 30 state governors at the National Governors Association meeting this weekend exactly how much real-estate is needed to make sure America can run totally on solar energy.

“If you wanted to power the entire United States with solar panels, it would take a fairly small corner of Nevada or Texas or Utah; you only need about 100 miles by 100 miles of solar panels to power the entire United States,” Musk said during his keynote conversation on Saturday at the event in Rhode Island. “The batteries you need to store the energy, so you have 24/7 power, is 1 mile by 1 mile. One square-mile.”

It’s “a little square on the U.S. map, and then there’s a little pixel inside there, and that’s the size of the battery park that you need to support that. Real tiny.”

Considering that those panels could be on the tops of shopping malls, warehouses, and other buildings, not even necessary to cover land with those panels.

The state with the most wind power is Texas. And they are putting in even more, with some communities going totally to renewable energy. The reason is simple, the kind of green that has pictures of Franklin on it. And they are putting in massive solar as well, for the same reason. Texas is like California, they take the lead, and others follow. So we have a very conservative state, and a very liberal state, both putting in massive amounts of wind and solar. Were we to put in transmission lines to the very windy states, and the same to the southwestern states for solar, we could convert the whole nation to 100% renewables in a decade.

If it is so easy, why did your beloved Obama not do it?

 

[Old Rocks]

It would have been like the Interstate Highway Program that Eisenhower put through. The GOP was not going to let President Obama have anything like that. That is why the next time the pendulum swings their way, the Dems need to have a workable program for energy, for healthcare, already thought out and ready for legislation.

That is hilarious.

Obama doubles the national debt, yet spends little on infrastructure and alternative energy...but it is the Rs fault.

How does one get so dumb?

I didn't even bring up CO2. I responded to the thread title.

Ain't nuttin' you can do about dat.
