A federal judge in West Virginia has ordered the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reverse decades of regulatory practice and begin continually evaluating how many power plants and coal mining jobs are lost because of air pollution regulations. […]

Murray Energy Corporation brought this challenge years ago, joined by most of the companies mining coal underground. Thirteen states support the suit, which blames the EPA for the coal industry’s declining fortunes. …

Yeah this should be a “fair” assessment too. Good grief.

Hussein has attacked one of America's economic advantages over the rest of the world. The last figures I saw showed electric usage was done 25% but electric costs were UP 25% (that figure is from several years ago).

How is that possible? Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, is doing everything he can to hurt America.

The EPA says it’s reviewing the decision.

The EPA argued that analyzing job loss won't change global energy trends.

The trend is to abolish the EPA is more likely than global energy trends.

Little late

Foolish judge. They already know the impact and intent. To destroy coal.

Of course. If they are going to do environmental impact, then they should be doing economic impact, also.

As it is now, they are only interested in environmental impact and screw any humans harmed.

Oh, God, please let us have Trump! It will be wonderful to see what he does to these EPA dictators.

One of the best things Ted Cruz wanted to to do; was eliminate or radically downsize the UN-Constituional EPA.
Lets hope President Trump does this when elected.
