*Proposed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations for power plant emissions could spur blackouts in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) power grid region and cost stakeholders nearly $250 billion in the coming decades, according to comments filed in response to the rule by the Center of the American Experiment (CAE).
*The average annual cost to stakeholders of building enough capacity to stave off the blackouts CAE projects in the MISO region is greater than the average annual benefit the EPA estimates its proposals will bring for the entire country by 2055, according to CAE’s analysis.
*“This is the regulatory equivalent of studying the structural integrity of the top floor of a 100-story building without doing so for the preceding 99 floors,” Isaac Orr, policy fellow for the CAE and coauthor of CAE’s comments, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Proposed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules regulating carbon dioxide emissions for power plants would lead to blackouts in a large slice of the Midwest and impose costs of nearly $250 billion, according to new analysis by the Center of the American Experiment (CAE).
The EPA’s proposed regulations would require fossil fuel-fired power plants to adopt developing technologies, such as carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) and hydrogen blending, in order to significantly bring down their greenhouse gas emissions over the coming decades. CAE filed comments this week in response to the EPA’s proposals, highlighting in its analysis that the EPA has overestimated the efficacy of wind and solar while exposing the 45 million people living in the area served by the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) power grid to elevated blackout risks.

“Proposed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations”
Without being passed by congress, the senate, and signed into law by the president?
The original goal of enviromentalists is the significant reduction in population. Restricting services and resources is a tactic they use.
And cut some wood before winter.
And lots more examples probably!
I sent this story to our local electric company.
Hoping to hear something from them.
Yes. We are the ones with a dictator now. Have you not noticed?
At this point I would welcome Putin and Russia with open arms.
Not so much China.
What other options do we have?
“Can’t blame them. I’m not. “
I’m not blaming them. I’m only stating this rapidly increasing population will be accustomed to the hardships to come, given they have lived their lives under third world economic, political, technological and social conditions. It is Americans who grew up in the land of prosperity and limitless opportunity who will have to dramatically shift their expectations and perception of what is normal.
We asked for it. Just look at California.
It's likely Gavin Newsom will become our next POTUS.
you mean the candles made from petroleum products?
