WASHINGTON (AP) - For the first time in nearly 30 years, the Environmental Protection Agency plans to strengthen standards for water pollution from coal-fired power plants.
The agency said Tuesday that equipment required to reduce air pollution has increased the harmful contaminants in water discharged by power plants. It also said that existing regulations are not enough to protect water quality and wildlife.

The list, ping
How much will this cost us? and what minimal benefit will it produce?
Since Al Gore started his crusade against global warming, his first love, The Clean Water Act has fallen on some hard times.
Up goes your electric bill again.
EPA are Nazis, if you ever get in compliance they will make the standards harder. They are all about creating work, for themselves. They work hard to screw America.
A bunch and little respectively.
It’s like OSHA, whatever was safe yesterday, isn’t today, and will only become unsafer as time goes on.
It’s a plague on modern society. Every regulation only gets stiffer. Look at the pools that yesterday had diving boards, that don’t today. The depth that was safe decades ago, isn’t anymore. It’s the amount of bodily growing that human beings do today that is so much more than yesterday!! We are so much taller as a race.
It's the reason my company closed it's plant in California. It became a slippery slope as one regulation led to another.
Hence take away the cost advantage of coal making it unfeasible for use.
Mission accomplished. They don’t want coal or nuclear power sources here anyway.
The whole agenda depends on rising prices for energy, then all the fringe technologies can become cost effective and the Obamawallahs then can create our GreenUtopia.

Joe Bastardi of Accuweather.com on Accuweather’s website and again on Bill O’Reilly’s show 9/9/09 presents irrefutable evidence which debunks claims by environmentalists that California’s wild fires were caused by Global Warming. In a few short minutes and with just a few graphics of charts and images He debunks contemporary claims of Global Warming entirely.
Certainly, many far better than myself, have refuted the false claims of Global Warming and the so called human cause of it. But for obvious reasons, those who’s attempts to do so have been thwarted by a biased agendized media, disinterested and dishonest politicians, and an ignorant distracted public.
Few of us were of the scientific background to immediately refute or take the time or expend the resources to independently research the topic entirely to where we would be fully informed. Combing the volumes of research data where deep within lay the truths that would expose the fraud has been something inaccessible to most Americans.
This is how they fooled and/or silenced most of us. Not because we were stupid but because we lacked the “at finger tip” tools to refute the liars as they told their tale.
Here is a tool. Here is a very simple, easy to replay, irrefutable presentation that is for even the layman (which most of us are) to comprehend and understand.
Not being a skilled poster I apologize in advance. I’ve always sought a simple brief presentation (which I knew would come along eventually) that I could show people I know which would prove Global Warming to be a fraud, or at a minimum, show it to be highly suspect.
Think for a moment of all the billions if not trillions of dollars which has been stolen from the American taxpayer to prop up a complete fraud. Because if it indeed is a fraud, then every action based on that fraud that has been taken is equally fraudulent also. The list includes; Greenhouse Gasses, Cafe Standards, all “green” initiatives (Fed,State,Local), “Green” related products, bogus research grants, all related taxes, all government legislation and bureaucracies, Climate Change, Oil consumption and exploration restrictions, and all other actions taken in response to a completely false and unsubstantiated premise called “Global Warming”.
All the fraud, all the wasted energy, all the wasted tax and business expenses would end if we can just reach everyone with the truth.

I work as a contractor for the EPA, I know their game plan.
