TERRORISTS need not attack our power grid, OBAMA is doing it for them!

Guess he figures he hasn't done enough damage to us quite yet!


Getting ready for a wave of coal-plant shutdowns - Ezra Klein - The Washington Post


Over the next 18 months, the Environmental Protection Agency will finalize a flurry of new rules to curb pollution from coal-fired power plants. Mercury, smog, ozone, greenhouse gases, water intake, coal ash—it’s all getting regulated. And, not surprisingly, some lawmakers are grumbling.

Industry groups such the Edison Electric Institute, which represents investor-owned utilities, and the American Legislative Exchange Council have dubbed the coming rules “EPA’s Regulatory Train Wreck.” The regulations, they say, will cost utilities up to $129 billion and force them to retire one-fifth of coal capacity. Given that coal provides 45 percent of the country’s power, that means higher electric bills, more blackouts and fewer jobs. The doomsday scenario has alarmed Republicans in the House, who have been scrambling to block the measures. Environmental groups retort that the rules will bring sizeable public health benefits, and that industry groups have been exaggerating the costs of environmental regulations since they were first created.
 
it would be terrible to an Obama/Earth/human hater if we didn't let out all pollution available to destroy the ecological system, do u people eat mercury for lunch?
 
quote..... under my energy plan energy costs will necessarily sky rocket!! OBAMA!!

Do any of you Obama haters ever read what u cut and paste? Or is it just an involuntary reflex with u all?


CRS notes that many of the plants most affected by the new EPA rules were facing extinction anyway:


How's THIS for "cut and paste"?

oh yeah, youtube and wiki are great sources of unaltered communication.

AH...so you do like cut and paste after all!


Here ya go then....


"And we must find a way to stop coal from polluting our atmosphere without pretending that our nation's most abundant energy source will just go away. It won't. It will also require taking steps to ensure that China's coal emissions are curbed as well. Already, some coal pollution from China's dirty plants is making its way to California. That's why we must invest in clean coal technologies that we can use at home and share with the world. Until those technologies are available, I will rely on the carbon cap and whatever tools are necessary to stop new dirty coal plants from being built in America - including a ban on new traditional coal facilities"

In 2009, the Energy Information Administration listed 594 coal-fired power plants in the U.S., down from 645 coal-fired power plants in 2001.

The US lost more coal powered plants during Bush than Obama.


Among the impacts of coal plants are the fine particulates released directly or produced indirectly by sulfur dioxide emissions.[20] According to a 2004 study released by the Clean Air Task Force, fine particulates from power plants result in nearly 24,000 annual deaths, with 14 years lost on average for each death.[20] Based on social decisions in other contexts such as transportation and medicine, researchers report (see below) that American society is willing to spend $129,090 to avoid the loss of a year of life.[21] This suggests that society would be willing to spend at an additional $40 billion (i.e., 24,000 annual deaths x 14 years lost x $129,000 per year lost) for alternative ways of generating electricity that did not produce deadly pollution. With US coal plants generating about 2 billion Gigawatt hours annually, the expenditure of an additional $40 billion would raise the cost of electricity by about two cents per kilowatt hour.[22]

funny energy was half the cost under Bush!!:eusa_eh:
