That’s nice. But nobody is actually going to build one until they can be assured this stupid policy won’t be reasserted after another election.
And that meant new clean plants, because the let the PPM/Ton etc down to something like 1000 when the state of the art was 1200 and they couldn't meet it. It was on purpose create a bureaucratic bench mark to destroy them.
This is what happens when you give power to a totalitarian thug. Michelle was verbally closed down after she said Barack will never let you go back ( bla, bla, bla ) this a an example of it. It would have made us broke, energy prices would have gone through the roof like Germany, and punish us, and I don't know what it is, this has roots with his dad, England ( the Churchill bust ) and coal. It also would have destroyed the steel biz, which is so like he will not be named, he wanted to tear down our military might.
I Love this President more and more each day, and no I am not tired of winning.
The full court press is on to get rid of Pruitt.
Nope, We need SOLAR in the second cloudiest city in the USA! Binghamton NY!! YAY!! (We are sitting over the deepest and most enriched part of the Marcellus Shale, but we can’t tap into it and have cheap energy, no-siree Bob.)
This is excellent, but power companies are going to be gun-shy. It takes many years to get new plants permitted and built. By then, the next Dem administration will restore the Obama-era New Source Performance Standards and kill the plants, putting us right back where we were before.
How the hell can businesses do any planning or succeed when constantly whipsawed by the GD federal government? The extreme polarization by the leftists makes it impossible to do any rational business planning, especially for long-term, capital-intense projects.
The communist press will excoriate this decision as “polluting the planet and destroying it for our kids.” They will whip the public into a frenzy to permanently kill fossil power when the Dems come back in power.
That is why capital went on hiatus for 8 yrs. A dear friend, a supplier told him we are expanding the day after tomorrow after Romney gets elected. He visits the day after, and no, we are sitting on the money, got to ride this guy out for 4 years. Business knew, they kept their heads down, didn't complain as to not to get on their radar and get in their bulls eye.
I heard some dumb story today about Pruitt flying first class without authorization to avoid questions or some other dumb nonsense. Media whining is lame.
Nope. Of course not. But it’s an easy way to label the wasted money, so we know what wbill is talking about...
One day - everything will be set right, by a Judge that knows everything, and cannot be bought. I’m ready...
Oh, did I say that out loud?

Yes you did.
And yes, you were right.
Still agree with that. Our grid is woefully overworked.
Nothing sexy about "Newer, Higher Efficiency Transformers", though. And NIMBYs put an end to more power plants.
I travel all around the Southeast. You can't throw a rock around here without hitting a "Now Hiring" sign, or a new (or renovation) construction site. Years before, Nada. Then the floodgates opened moments after Pres. Trump was elected.
Restaurants and smaller businesses, especially. Lots and lots of reinvestment going on at the bottom, where it really counts.
Not a coincidence. Businesses know that you need to make hay while the sun shines.
As an aside, I've wondered if some regulation about gas stations was rolled back. Happened all of a sudden. There were at least 6 or 8 on my commute, or close by, that were abandonded. Now, the tanks have been torn out, and the sites leveled - nothing there, but they're ready for building.
Vacant lot isn't great, but it's far better than a condemned, falling-in old building.
