Differences between former Richardson administration plans and Martinez administration:
$900 million solution favored by EPA and previous admin would improve visibility by an estimated 13 percent with a cost of additional $85 per year to customers. New admin proposal to cost $77 million with estimated 2.5 percent visibility increase to increase rates by $11 per year. Previous pollution controls improved visibility by 54 since 2009.
[... use of coal violates religious values of justice, stewardship and respect for life,...]
That quote confirms environmentalism is mother earth worship.
Let’s use the separation clause to eliminate the EPA.

How I miss those old-fashioned, black-robed nuns who used to hit kids on the knuckles with their rulers. I’ll bet this nun doesn’t even have a ruler.
Evil people.
What they really want is Peter Singers version of a planet with very few humans.
They won't say that, but they offer up choices that are not feasible then ask us to pick which one.
These people want to completely kill coal because they want us to all live in mud huts. They know there is a 500 year supply of coal, and that undermines their long term goal of killing human progress.
that’s what we learned from our long history with smog control in Pittsburgh, getting rid of that last 5% costs you more than the whole previous 95% combined
Gramsci would be proud...
What they really hate is energy of any kind, because energy = people.
Abolish all sources of energy, and the population of the world will plummet catastrophically.
Which is the real goal.
With more than half our electricity coming from coal plants ending the use of coal would mean a lot of unemployed people freezing or sweltering in darkened homes.
So they will power their cramped, clown car electric WeenieMobiles with tofu pellets and wheat germ husks then?
Religious values? Yep, just the other day I read the 10 commandments and there was a new one added: Thou shalt not use coal!
Dimwits are all as crazy as a sh** house mouse. What do they think we are going to replace the 48% of the power that coal powered plants generate in the USA with?
I thought this “board” which was appointed by richardson could be eliminated or at least replaced by the new Governor Martinez??????
Lets all face it, it will take 50 years to get up to the level energy that coal provides.
We could all go back to the dark ages.
*Coal is a moral issue, said Marlene Perroti of the Sisters of Mercy* Im hoping shes from the band and not the Catholic church.
Going along with the Climate Alarmists lies is a moral issue.
Destroying the economy for a scam is a moral issue.
Plunging us back into the dark ages based on a hoax is a moral issue.
Allowing the government to go from a free republic to a totalitarian dictatorship that regulates every movement that you make is a moral issue.
Being on the side of these blatant liars violates religious values of justice, stewardship and respect for life.
Marlene should read the Bible more and stop reading pseudo-science malarkey.
The new mantra of the Watermelons
I don’t pretend to be a metallurgist, but isn’t coal necessary for the production of steel?
King Coal isn’t just for the production of electricity, what do they plan to use for construction, automobile and appliance manufacture, knife, gun, utensil manufacture, etc?
Someone should tell “Sister” that if God didn’t want us to burn coal, he wouldn’t have made it such an economical, high energy fuel, then made it so plentiful.
These “environMENTALists” believe in neither God Nor Gaia, even if they are part of a religious order.
