Biden Basically Destroying the Remaining Coal-Fired Power Plants, and it Will Cost Consumers a Bundle

[excalibur]

More Biden junta stupidity. Based on faulty science of AGW.

Consumers once again are getting it in the pocketbook for the fallacy. And at the same time, the Biden junta mandating an all-electric economy.

The insanity must end before it destroys the middle class and the economy.

Yeah, the dictator is Biden.

​

West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, the top Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, lambasted the rule as “the illegal Clean Power Plan 2.0,” referring to a major Obama-era regulation that the Supreme Court struck down two years ago.​

​

“Electricity demand is set to skyrocket thanks in part to the EPA’s own electric vehicles mandate, and unfortunately, Americans are already paying higher utility bills under President Biden,” Capito said in a statement. “Despite all this, the administration has chosen to press ahead with its unrealistic climate agenda that threatens access to affordable, reliable energy for households and employers across the country.”​

​

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey — who led the legal charge that resulted in the Supreme Court in 2022 ruling to limit EPA’s climate regulatory authority over power plants — swiftly vowed to challenge the rule in court.​

​

“This rule flies in the face of the rule of law,” he said in a statement. “We are confident this new rule is not going to be upheld, and it just seems designed to scare more coal-fired power plants into retirement — the goal of the Biden administration.” ​

This is insane. They have no replacements for that energy. Wind and Solar are not base-load power sources and not reliable in bad weather and night.

During the Icepocolypse 2013-2014 extra cold Winter, the U.S.A. had to bring on every idling coal fire plant to get Americans through the 2 week long freeze out. Without them, tens of thousands of Americans would have died.

I keep thinking of the family in Texas that froze to death because they had to depend on wind for heat.

And when it stopped working, they froze to death.

And that was Texas.

Imagine what it will be like in places like Chicago.

It will mean mass death. We nearly got there in 2013, but the coal fire plants saved the day. Many have already closed. It's scary if you live in cold regions without reliable nuclear.

We must shut down coal burning plants, we need the coal to build billions of wind turbines and solar panels.
