U.S. EPA sets soot pollution rule, energy companies warn of costs

[excalibur]

More expensive electricity and energy is on the way courtesy of the Biden administration.

You ain' seen nothing yet! But Biden regulations have already added ~$1 trillion in expenses for Americans. And they keep piling on, one on top of the other.

Meanwhile, Pakistan is going to increase electric production from coal by fourfold.

​

The U.S. environmental regulator said on Tuesday it sent the White House its final plan to slash interstate smog and soot pollution from the power sector, but big energy companies warned that the measure on track to be finalized next month would cost them billions of dollars.​

​

The plan, first proposed last year by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), would require the power industry to slash nitrogen oxides, or NOx, pollution to curb a decades-old problem of power plant emissions fouling the air in other states, often hundreds of miles away.​

​

The EPA told Reuters the White House's Office of Management and Budget(OMB) accepted the agency's proposal for review on Feb. 9 and that the final rule was expected by March 23.​

​

The EPA docket for the stricter rules has received more than 112,000 comments, including from industry heavyweights who say the EPA is underestimating the cost of implementation by billions of dollars.​

​

Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI.N) warned the plan would cost an estimated $4.1 billion in upgrades and retrofits to about 950 engines along its pipelines, which carry about 40% of the natural gas consumed in the United States.​

​

That estimate is 16 times higher than the one by the EPA, whose assessment for the industry would factor in less than 100 engines for Kinder Morgan, the company said in its letter to the agency.​

​

Kinder Morgan and other companies also opposed the EPA's 2026 deadline to get upgrades completed.​

​

“It would likely take at least until 2045 to implement the (EPA’s proposal) across all of the engines that currently exceed the proposed emissions limits,” it said.​

Defund the EPA. They can't even protect us from this string of chemical spills we've been seeing lately.

The EPA as become a legislative branch of government. THAT is unconstitutional.

This all circles around to nuke plants, which has it's own Co2 trap>>

CO2 trap The energy consumption and consequently the CO2 emission of the recovery of uranium from the earth’s crust strongly depend on the ore grade. In practice the most easily recoverable and richest resources are exploited first, a common practice in mining, because these offer the highest return on investment. As a result the remaining resources have lower grades and uranium recovery becomes more energy-intensive and more CO2-intensive, and consequently the specific CO2 emission of nuclear power rises with time. When the average ore grade approaches 200 ppm, the specific CO2 emission of the nuclear energy system would surpass that of fossil-fuelled electricity generation. This phenomenon is called the CO2 trap. If no new major high-grade uranium resources are found in the future, nuclear power might lose its lowcarbon profile within the lifetime of new nuclear build. The nuclear mitigation share would then drop to zero.

All the regulatory agencies need to be smacked down hard for making law......Defunding them till they change their ways is a option that should be explored.

Hell, the ATF made a new rule (arm braces) that will produce millions of new "felons" in around 90 days given the low compliance rate thus far.....There comes a time when sane people just say "fuck you, now what are you goin' to do about it?".

Really? We saw that Nancy Piglosi who knew that the FBI was going to stir up shit, but did nothing to prevent it. Just like the Nazi's did with the Reichstag fire, and now with the environmental bomb going on in Ohio, that is just like the Soviets did with Chernobyl. You fuckers disgust me....

Back in the 1960s , liberals hated the "Man" (government) because they didnt trust them. Now Fascists like you just follow what they tell you to do, just like they did under Hitler. It didnt go well for those Fascists in the end, if you get what i mean...

Its not Biden's fault, the inflation is global.

You just can't help yourself from being an ignorant and uninformed parrot, can you?

If inflation is "global", why does China have a 2.1% inflation rate?

Or Panama at 2.07%

Or Switzerland at 3.3%?

Or Saudi Arabia at 3.4%?

Or Japan at 4%?

Or Hong Kong at 2%?

Or Taiwan at 3.0%?

Or Kuwait at 3.15%?

Because they don't Joe Biden and the Democrats running their countries.
