The following section is pertinent today, 7 years later. “Elections have consequences”:
**************************
Stop certain EPA regulations that will adversely impact coal and electric power plants. In 2008, President Obama promised to bankrupt coal. As of June 2013, there were already 288 coal units closed or closing in 32 states because of EPA policies. These 288 closures amount to a total of more than 41,000 megawatts of electricity generation no longer being available.
