Run against Obama/dems by running against the EPA.
But it is all being driven by court decisions. Everything the EPA does gets litigated, and often it is like ping pong. A particular court decision generates a second lawsuit, which when decided by the court, generates a third lawsuit. And so on.
Some of these issues take decades to resolve in the courts. Congress passed New Source Review in the late 70s. The case was in and out of court numerous times but it was not until 2007 that SCOTUS made a decision that supposedly finalized it. Then Texas found another avenue to go to court, and they will delay it in Texas for a while longer. But the rest of the nation moved on.
Sometimes these coal plants get cancelled for other reasons. The White Stallion coal plant in Texas fought off the enviros and nimbys, only to lose a legal battle with the rice farmers over water rights. The coal plant was cancelled because they couldn't get the water to run it.
You little scallywag! So the poor EPA is being forced to write regulations based on completely disproved studies against their will by the courts. Yea that's it! That's the ticket! You don't seem to understand anything at all.
Do you actually pay attention to current events at all before you start making stuff up??? The EPA is now run by left wing ideologues. Look at the previous head of the EPA Lisa P. Jackson... she resigned to protest Obama’s support of the “Keystone Pipeline”. Obama nominated her because she was a left wing ideologue and she quit because she wasn't willing to accept that a political compromise was being made.
No one has to force the EPA to take irresponsible actions against the citizens of this country. The regs are conceived by people with left wing ideology but the victims do not generally have no political motivation.
Everything the EPA does gets litigated.
That is a lie! That is absolutely not true! The vast majority of people who should be filing lawsuits against the EPA do not. This is because it is basically always futile to to get in a legal battle with an entity with unlimited resources.
My own family found out this the hard way. I am not going to go into detail here, but my parents are in their late 70s. They lost almost everything they had in a legal fight with a Transit Authority who took their land worth approximately $2,000,000 and gave them no compensation.
You are living in a fantasy world. People like my parents are the ones who are victims of EPA actions and they lose everything when they take on the government. For their trouble they get the pleasure of intentionally made out to be villains in the press by the government agencies they have challenged.
