Kentucky resolution would defy EPA fossil fuel regs like ‘sanctuary cities’ do for immigration
Just the News ^ | 3/7/24 | Kevin Killough

Republicans in the Kentucky House are proposing a resolution that would create “a sanctuary state” for fossil fuel-powered generators.

The resolution, which was assigned to a committee Wednesday, appears to be modeled after the concept of “sanctuary cities,” which are local jurisdictions that have agreed not to comply with federal immigration regulations.

The resolution aims to exempt Kentucky from EPA regulations regarding coal- and natural gas-fired power plants. Permitting for such facilities would be done by the state, and Kentucky agencies would be prohibited from collecting fines or penalties for violations of federal regulations related to fossil fuel-fired power plants.

When there are too many laws many people start ignoring them. When laws are applied to only certain people or groups, more people start ignoring them. Eventually, you no longer have a nation of laws. Eventually, you no longer have a nation.

Fighting back.

Time for Rebel Yell by Billy Idol.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdphvuyaV_I

Little known is these groups did covers of that song:
Children of Bodom, HIM, Drowning Pool, Dope, Black Veil Brides, Adrenaline Mob, Bullets and Octane, Otherwise, Blue Stahli, and Queensrÿche.

Not meant to promote opinions of the American Confederacy, though. “at an event where Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones were taking swigs from a bottle of “Rebel Yell” bourbon whiskey. He was not familiar with the brand, but he liked the name and decided to write the song.”

What the fed needs is a judicious judicioning ie: cutting of funding.
Don’t support their select sanctuarys . Do so by sanctioning the fed tax paid previously so dutifully and make it legal, local laws for local folks , the feds don’t like it so what see my deputy standing around you.

When these Communist politicians declared “Sanctuary Cities” where the law didn’t apply for illegal alien invaders, people were quick to point out that their own municipality should declare themselves “Sanctuary Cities from Income Taxes” and “Sanctuary Cities from illegal Gun Control Laws”.

I’d like to see my home state (PA) legalize the sale of fully automatic machine guns to anyone 8 or older.

With the development of horizontal drilling, I hope that someday the States that know the Globull Hoax is crap will drill under the Blue States that refuse to use all the energy under their feet. Right now, we know* about several huge hydrocarbon deposits in America. These huuuuge sources of energy are under both Blue and Red States.

*know - they often use the term ‘known reserves’ of oil and natural gas. We have only drilled a few miles into the Earth. We have thousands of years of hydrocarbons under our feet.

It is amazing that libtards who claim to be the smartest people in any room have no understanding of human nature.

“fully automatic machine guns”

It is my understanding that domestic governments can acquire them.

Some people in your town ought to know how to make use of them since they are expensive.

“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”

“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”

The Republicans had two years in DC (2017,2018) to clean up the US Code so the US people would not get stomped on.

Imagine what your future electric bills are going to look like.

The facilities are too large to get away with this.

Kentucky sees the folly of having been a border state eventually siding with the Zentral government. Better late then never.

About time our side starts playing with the same rules the left does.

And more being made daily. Deep in the crust. It’s abiotic.
