If this is like previous EPA reductions in emmissions, even existing plants aren’t safe. If you spend more than a certain percentage of the plant’s value in one year (such as getting a new turbine and generator in the same year), then the plant is no longer an “existing” plant. It is now a new plant subject to current regulations. This actually hampers a power company’s efforts to modernize and upgrade their plants.
If it can be done, it can be undone.
The liberals turned off the water to California's Inland Empire causing a quarter of a million people to become unemployed and seriously reducing the food supply of the nation.
And, now, coal miners will lose their jobs, power plants will be shut down, and electricity bills will increase. But, the writer's correct. The Republican response has been, um, muted.
With all these stories about the Obama kids going crazy coast-to-coast, border-to-border I wish newsmen would be careful how the phrase things in the news.
Nothing new here. When will you understand that politicians are both bribeable and willing to take stands that seems politically correct at the moment. They are POLITICIANS for goodness sakes - both Dems and Reps. Yes, that means that both parties are CREEPS! (can’t use proper language here).
Personally I think everyone who works for EPA should have their electric utilities disconnected to their homes, their likely taxpayer owned vehicles taken away, and the power disconnected too their offices as well. Let those two faced hypocrites be forced to live the lifestyle they are forcing upon us unconstitutionally.
LMAO, glad I didn’t buy an electric car!
Americans better start getting used to sitting in the dark with no boob tube and no way to charge their cell phone battery. We’re all cave dwellers now. How ‘bout that “progressivism”?
,,,,,, the union coal miners love 0bama just one more reason for them to vote for him again .
The GOP is nothing more than the “relief” party for the American NWO types. They are to provide an outlet for those of us who won’t willingly surrender our souls to the leaders and community organizers.
“I will bankrupt the coal companies” - the guy does keep his promises.....
The GOP is MIA on almost everything.
The GOP is worthless.
I’ll say it again, it’s time business just flat out ignore any regulations coming out of DC and dare them to stop them.

Why do you call it “EPA overreach”?
Do you believe EPA is not operating PRECISELY as authorized by Congress under the Clean Air Act?
Of course, the EXERCISE of that authority by anti-American communists is creating problems - but the delegation of Congressional authority is at the root of the matter, and until THAT is changed, nobody will be safe.
This is just another example of the leftist aka progressives using taxes to attack something they do not like. If the leftist aka progressive want alternate fuels. They use their money to create them. Oil companies did not get federal funds to create their industry.
So. I’m guessing that Obama is going to rely on charging his electric cars by sunlight from Solyndra solar collections stored in A123 batteries. Great plan simpleton.
