The Environmental Protection Agency will issue the first limits on greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants as early as Tuesday, according to several people briefed on the proposal. The move could end the construction of conventional coal-fired facilities in the United States.
The proposed rule — years in the making and approved by the White House after months of review — will require any new power plant to emit no more than 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt of electricity produced. The average U.S. natural gas plant, which emits 800 to 850 pounds of CO2 per megawatt, meets that standard; coal plants emit an average of 1,768 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt…

How wonderful, no more coal fired plants, no more nuclear plants and the White House killed the pipeline! Great news for the American consumer, watch your electric bills SKYROCKET right along with gasoline!
The idea that Co2 is bad is based on the continued flight from reason by those wishing nothing more than to elevate socialism and kill capitalism, with no credible science behind it, while enriching a tiny group of doomsday peddlers.
Congratulations on your victory with the slime in the White House and the lunatics at EPA! As America loses bread from their tables they need to know the role played by radical left wing fundamentalists.
