Wonderfully Wasteful : The EPA wants to end coal-fired power plants.

Only in the Alice-in-Wonderland universe called the Obama administration can this be possible, considering...

"We are the Saudi Arabia of coal. We've got more coal than just about anybody else.

This is America. We figured out how to put a man on the moon in ten years. You can't tell me we can't figure out how to burn coal, that we mine right here in the United States of America, and make it work. We can do that."
Barrack Obama--- 2005?

This administration has aligned itself with “developing” countries whose main aim is giving tremendous advantage to those countries by burdening developed nations. Climate control is subterfuge. They argue that we had a head start, so the developing countries need exemptions from any burdens while having essentially free access to the latest technologies. It is possible to have a totally emission free coal fired power plant using CO2 sequestration amongst other expensive technologies, the costs would be enormous and this administration’s aim is to impose those costs on the US.

High cost gov regulations that actually make the carbon emissions worse overall? Sounds just like the ethanol.

In the 70’s the Dept of Energy constructed a Breeder Reactor to test their theories. They were able to take spent uranium to produce power to dispose of it, as well as useful medical isotopes.

It worked so well they shut it down and dismantled it in favor of long term deep isolated storage.

Probably the only successful DOE R&D project to provide benefits to a commercial operations and the public as opposed to the current EPA plan of writing pie in the sky regulations without any supporting technology to demonstrate that they actually work can be implemented by the public. Now all they say is in the future when this technology is developed...

So the lights go out in eastern South Carolina because some jerk (who became president by other jerks) believed Al Gore?

The Environmental Protection Agency’s recently announced decision to, in effect, ban the construction of traditional coal-fired power plants in the United States is a non-solution to a hypothetical problem, enacted upon a legal basis that is shaky and an economic basis that is nonexistent.

Take these idiots to court. That decision calling carbon dioxide a pollutant must be reversed.

"The costs will be very high, and the benefits the EPA hopes to secure will remain out of reach."

I disagree. This is about centralized power and control and the further enfebblement of the America citizen to foster governmental dependency. These goals are attainable and Obama has already been all too successful in changing the US into Obamastan.
