it looks like they will find out the real cost of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Peter ran out of wealth a while ago. They now rob Paul and Paul's children to pay Paul.

I say let ‘em freeze if they do not wish to do what the rest of America does.

I can recall a bumper sticker from 30 years ago.

DRIVE FAST - FREEZE A YANKEE IN THE DARK !

Sounds like the NIMBY attitude is coming home to roost with a vengeance.

These NE liberals are so dumb they still believe in Global Warming. The New England states have their own cap and trade, carbon-fighting program:

They must be so proud!

Their liberal votes helped give us all the tyrannical government we have now. Do I care if they are forced to choose between heating their homes and buying food? Let me think about that one for a while

The state that gave us homosexual marriage. I basically only recommend one move here if they are a missionary. Or will be. The Frozen Chosen!

Is the EPA correct?

“Is the EPA correct?”

Let’s see.

How can powerplants downwind of Theodore Roosevelt National Park contribute to regional haze caused by NOx? EPA and Wildearth Guardians wrong.

We have been having regional haze before the oil patch activity and powerplants, like I said it something we call fog - moisture in the air. It’s got nothing to do with pollution. EPA and the National Park Service is wrong on that.

EPA reimburses Wildearth Guardians for its legal costs - do you as a taxpayer feel that is right?

All the expense to meet new NOx emissions will not decrease visible haze in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I was at the EPA regional Haze hearing in Bismarck and the ND state scientists and engineers proved that point decisively. EPA and Wildearth Guardians wrong on that too.
