Biden admin preparing major crackdown on power plants that fuel nation's grid
Fox News ^ | April 22, 2023 | Thomas Catenacci

The Biden administration is reportedly finalizing a proposal that would force fossil fuel-fired power plants to substantially curb emissions or utilize costly carbon capture technology.

The proposal — which will soon be released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — is expected to require coal- and natural gas-fired power plants to cut or capture the vast majority of their carbon dioxide emissions by 2040, The New York Times reported on Saturday, citing officials briefed on a draft of the plan. The regulation, if finalized, would represent the first-ever federal action curbing power plant emissions.

"EPA cannot comment because the proposals are currently under interagency review," EPA spokesperson Maria Michalos told Fox News Digital in a statement.

"But we have been clear from the start that we will use all of our legally-upheld tools, grounded in decades-old bipartisan laws, to address dangerous air pollution and protect the air our children breathe today and for generations to come," Michalos said.

Too bad the EPA is so one-sided. They should require that wind farms capture all fiberglass emissions from burning wind generator blades, as a significant health hazard to any person downwind of a fire.

EPA should also require that all solar panels have heat absorption technology so that any infrared radiation is captured and sequestered, to prevent further global warming.

AS if I can afford electricity now. I can see myself walking everywhere since running an EV will be prohibitive. (Along with the cost of the EV)

But then again, Isn’t that the point of this nonsense? A society that cannot afford to transit everywhere is a society easy to control.

I might as well swear fealty to some warlord now and avoid the rush of other serfs.

Learn to live off the grid and supply chain as much as you can, folks.

I'm of like mind my FRiend. Just had another 2kw of solar panels delivered 3 days ago... up to roughly 7kw total now.

I have 40 acres, 2 wells. large greenhouse, food, antibiotics, various medical supplies..etc, etc...

Be prepared... my cat and I are, with God's help...

Most Americans seem too passive and submissive to take a stand against this systematic destruction of our once-great country.

Its all about following the money trail. Its theft and redistribution to enslave the people. This is what happens when people don’t pay attention in school, they believe in the false science that is spewed. These traitors need to be permanently evicted from this country.

Congress has ceded too much power to the executive branch. The executive has the power to shut down entire industries.

This needs to go back to the legislative branch, not career government employees in some regulatory agency.

The Teachers’ Union and Randi Weingarten did massive ballot drops to screw Trump and repeated it at the midterms. Remember, the TU are teaching our students Marxism, not RRR.

At what point is this DB in the White House, and the part the represents become enemy of the state?

That point was already reached at least by November 2016, and I'll opine much earlier than that.

As to doing something about that.... consider all the EO emergencies we are under, and then dlook up COG (Continuance of Government).

With the power to regulate comes the power to *destroy* - a Nation, a society and a way of life.

FJB and his EPA (Envronmetal Punishment Agency)

RE: Does Biden want to destroy America?

Does the Pope want to undermine the Church and allow unfettered socialism, abortions and euthanasia while kissing up to Pelosi and Biden?

You betcha.

Not to mention what he does when he goes into the woods.

Since fizzy soft drinks and beer contain CO2, better to outlaw Coke and Pepsi.
