New Laws May Let Power Plants Pollute More

A reporter's speculations as to what "may" happen, now qualify as news?

Does that include rat droppings? A lot of those exercise wheels hooked to generators might help, but due to the green folks this plan hasn’t been attempted yet...

We are expected to just accept that the Socialists and Communists want no progress on things that might help the US. Better to continue to hamstring the energy producers, then castigate the Republicans via the newspapers for not fixing everything. Luckily, it seems the majority of the coting public understands the Dims game.

Why don't we all just all freeze to fricking death in the winter and not use any electricity. If it saves just one little fishy or prevents a child from getting asthma, then it's worth it.

The headline alone shorts my wires. Though there is no proof that new rules and regulations will cause polution, the LSM remains "stuck on stupid".

They wouldn't ever consider a headline that read "New laws would reduce high cost of energy"

"sulfur dioxide blamed for smog, acid rain "

Years ago, when the acid rain scare first started, the U.S. Govt fertilizer research facility at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, did research on adding sulfur as a coating to fertilizer prills -- to replace the sulfur being removed from the air.

Sulfur is necessary for plants to grow.

It's what the American public voted for or, from the other perspective, it's what we have done to ourselves. It should come as no surprise to anyone that this administration will do anything and go to any lengths to eliminate any regulatory agency rule or amend any statute to accommodate industry and permit the industry affected to re-write the policy; eg: the energy group.

The move to eliminate EPA regulations is another example of strategically cunning campaign consultants successfully educating political candidates in the methodology of convincing the eletorate to vote against their own enlightened self-interests. I'm neither a tree hugger nor a enviro-nut, but I recognize bad public policy that is pay back to the big dollar guys who bought themselves an administration when I see it. And attempting to rationalize raw political pay back with some non-existant cloak is sophormoric and transparent. I would have a lot more respect for an administration that simply says: ''We won and we get to give our big dollar supporters something they want that will be really good for their bottom line and shareholders.'' Trying to cover it like a cat in his litter box taints the act with the same smell the litter box emits.

I would have more respect for you if there was some acknowledgement that all these decisions are trade-offs and that our environment is cleaner now than it has been in decades.

Making everything a crisis and a conspiracy is a hallmark of those advancing tolitarianism.

Right! Now my observatiion premised on a transparent reality is advocacy for tryanny; perhaps the tyranny that I sepnt 30 years of my adult life and spilled blood fighting against. By your definition dissent by Sen. McCain must also advocate tyranny and a totalitarian regime. Is it that anyone who tells about the emperor sans clothes is a dupe of some sinister totalitarian cabal?
