The Obama administration is effectively banning the construction of new coal-fired power plants, a move officials admit will have little to no impact on global warming.
The EPA does not anticipate that this proposed rule will result in notable CO2 emission change
by 2022, the agency writes in its proposal to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
EPA knows there arent benefits, Dan Simmons, director of regulatory and state affairs at the Institute for Energy Research, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. EPA and environmentalists are being disingenuous when they claim this rule will have an impact on the climate or the environment.

These photos were taken in Tampa, FL on Jan 19 1977. Back then the enviros exploited this rare phenomenon as proof that burning coal and fossil fuels were causing global cooling. And now decades later the EPA is finally showing some intellectual honesty after wasting how many trillions, if not quadrillions of tax $$$? I've said it before and I'll say it again, if their is any sort of climate change going on, then it's
G-D made climate change.

If there had been any truth to anything Gore said in the 90s, we would be under 16 feet of sea water right now.

Banning coal fired plants is another of the Left’s ways of weakening America. AGW was just an excuse all along.

Article III.
Section. 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
So, some "officials" at the EPA admit that they are simply waging war against American citizens, for no particular reason?
Waging war against "We the People" is the highest form of treason.

God blessed us by covering a large part of our country with coal. If we were as smart as we think we are, we would learn to use it. It would put lots of folks to work, and the price is right.There are such things as clean coal fired power plants. Why don't we build a few more and save the money we give to the Arabs for oil.

They have “other reasons”. They just don’t have to tell you what they are.

Yes, and it is going to get a lot cooler in the future. The earth goes through a cycle of hot and cold, but it take about 150 thousand years to do it. We are about to find ourselves slipping into the cold cycle. And it has nothing to do with smoke or gas fumes.

It’s so much more than Treason.
It’s fundamentally EVIL.
It is the advancement of laws that will cause the death of millions and millions of people.
Some of those that advance these rules and laws “know this” and they exploit the emotionally and intellectually challenged to be their foot soldiers.
The Liberal/Progressive ideology is the party of DEATH.
Their leaders have been trying to convince/trick their followers into believing that Human life is the problem for years.
Sadly for them, they grow up, get real jobs, start a family and they need to go after people at even younger and younger ages.
It’s pure EVIL packaged as compassion.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.
3. The earth is a rock.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Yes, by making electricity so expensive that no one has any money left after paying their utilities, thus making us have to work more to survive, leaving us no time or energy to pay attention to what those pesky polititions are doing.
