Wait till they see what this does next summer to the large cities. Most large cities are Democratic strongholds. Boston, NYC, Philly etc...a hot summer with no electric will be an awakening. Those with electric won't be able to afford it.

“...will cost utilities up to $129 billion.”

No it won’t. But our rates will go up.

What does the coal miner Union have to say about this? Surely, if who don't have coal-plants, we don't need coal, or the miners, or the businesses and communities that depend upon them...

No comments from Sen. Jay Rockefeller, or Sen. Joe Manchin?

Why the surprise...both Biden and Obama promised to bankrupt the coal industry during the elections. We need some of those Chinese “clean coal” plants here in the US.

See everything our beloved President is doing to make our lives better. However, I think I will just stay here in Southeast Asia enjoying my air-conditioning and generally civilized life. Besides, my blood pressure is much improved by not seeing my leader on TV every thirty seconds.

And, not surprisingly, some lawmakers are grumbling

Our sitting on their BFA lawmakers need to stop grumbling and start closing down out of control federal agencies like the EPA. Their office can't exist if they are not funded. Congress can and eventually must put an end to EPA's overreach. First step should be not paying the agencies electric bill to show them what the nations power grid will be like under the EPA's insane meddling.

The EPA is one of the main economic wrecking crews operating out of Washington D.C..This is preposterous and needs to be stopped. Also, the possible radon scams going on need to be investigated, as well. In the US, the baseline is 4, in Canada it is 20. So, if a homeowner registers 4.5, the treatment has to be done..The system is set up so the inspector, not certified, can make the diagnosis and offer the treatment as well, gaining profit for him and, or his buddies. It is even possible that Realtors might get some benefit from all that. Is this an opportunity for corruption?? You bet it is! And, I am guessing that the schemes behind all of these coal regulations offer big corrupt opportunities, too.

Perry's been fighting this and people besides the EPA have noticed.

Perry environmental stance would transform EPA ....>>>>>Perry "approaches the issues from a very libertarian bent," said Jim DiPeso , policy director of Republicans for Environmental Protection. "The EPA would be in for some significant budget reduction. There would be no new intiatives, no regulatory programs that would be initated. There'd be litigation from environmental groups that believe he's not enforcing the Clean Air Act and Water Act as robustly as the law provides."

"Any regulatory programs would be really throttled back," he said. "He has shown no interest in climate policy at all. He doesn't accept the science."

With the governor's blessing, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is challenging at least six EPA greenhouse gas-related regulations. The state's underlying argument: The fundamental finding that greenhouse gases are a public health threat is scientifically flawed.

The federal government is pushing "hastily enacted, cascading regulations" on states and businesses, Abbott argued in a June brief filed on behalf of nine states in federal court.

Perry's approach to energy, DiPeso said, "would be to produce more," rather than discourage the development of energy projects, such as coal plants, that emit greenhouse gases associated with global warming.

"In terms of energy, (Perry) would pursue what many Republicans call the 'all of the above' strategy, with more energy development offshore and onshore," DiPeso said. <<<<<

Finding middle ground on EPA-Texas electric squabble [EPA doesn’t do “middle” ground] “Texas' grudge match with the Environmental Protection Agency is getting nastier and riskier, with the fallout threatening to reach the state's power grid. Want another reason to worry about the lights staying on? Or how about another hit to the economy? You've heard lots of political posturing about Texas' way of life being threatened by an overreaching federal government. This time, Gov. Rick Perry has a point. …………..

Don't be surprised if the attorney general jumps in after Perry slammed the rule for threatening Texas jobs and families and putting reliable, affordable electricity at risk. Late last week, 31 members of Congress from Texas, including eight Democrats, signed a letter to the White House asking for relief. The utility commission also filed objections with the EPA.

MONTANA: Legal gamesmanship threatens our energy future “Texas Gov. Rick Perry is able to boast about job growth under his watch, noting that over 265,000 jobs, or nearly 37 percent of the jobs created nationwide since the summer of 2009, have been created in the Lone Star state.

Recent headlines highlight two major resource development projects slogging through endless legal and regulatory challenges. Investment flees this kind of uncertainty, so Montanans interested in the future economic stability of this state should be wary of the signals we send…” --- [relates short history of 2 outrageous examples] --

“The common experience for Tongue River Railroad and Tonbridge Power is this: Even if you play by the rules, even if you follow the letter of the law, even if you engage with the public during a planning process, even if you get formal approval from the regulatory authorities, you are certain to face organized opposition whose sole intent is to frustrate project development to the point of financial starvation…...................”

CALIFORNIA: …..“Texas Gov. Rick Perry has become a folk hero for people like Stewart as he's marketed his state as a low-cost and business-friendly alternative to California, which is fertile job-hunting ground for Perry.

Texas has added 929,000 jobs since 2001, while California has lost approximately 635,000 manufacturing jobs in that same time, Stewart said.

Answering questions after his speech, Stewart told the story of Perry sending programmed cellphones to CEOs in California with a simple message: "If you're interested in growing your business, please call me. I'm here to help."

"They're doing something right down there," Stewart said of what he dubs the "Texas miracle." "Gov. Perry will go anywhere, any time, to try to recruit companies into Texas."

Perry has taken the state's regulatory process and managed it himself, Stewart said………

[CA Economic Development Corporation President Mark] Lascelles emphasized that it does no good to belabor California's regulatory environment.

"Unfortunately, we can't avoid it. We have to deal with it," he said. Speaker focuses on job

What would happen IF.. Alaskas HUGE supply of coal was capitalized on mined and sent to CHINA...
PAY them off with an absolutely HUGE amount of coal mined in Alaska.. and shipped to China.. at a discount..

Alaska has SO MUCH coal, so much, that it dwarfs the supply in several eastern States.. maybe all of them..
Actually most of Alaska has coal seams a bit under the surface..

We can’t use it... BUT we could ship it all to China and India.. in huge barges..

This is yet another synthetic shortage/price increase, like the petroleum one, done deliberately by the New World Order as part of their plan to destroy our culture.

What do they plan to replace it with? They haven’t thought that far ahead.

They call themselves “Progressives”! They even think they’re smart!!

Let me fix that headline for you:

Getting ready for a wave of coal-plant shutdowns rolling blackouts

Make no mistake. Electric rates are going up, ..., a whole lot. But in many regions, there is not enough long distance transmission capacity to "import" power to cover the lost generating capacity from the coal plants that will be shut down. This will result in shortages, which in the electric power industry means blackouts.

Electricity is the only industry where supply must always equal demand (to a very high degree of precision). Transmission lines are expensive and take time to build. Power plants (of any kind) are expensive and take time to build.

These rules will shut down coal fired plants within months, not years. The shut downs will come before new transmission lines can be built, and long before new plants will be online to replace the coal fired plants. Supply will go down. That means demand will have to be shut off at peak demand time. That can only be accomplished with "rolling blackouts."

These liberal/progressive idiots don’t get it. Our economic woes are based on two great issues: First, that we are SPENDING way too much and beyond our means. Second, it’s energy stupid! This administration has not only shackled our national energy businesses with draconian regulations but caused through many, any, and all means, the doubling in price of all energy. And it will worsen as time goes on
