Our
utilities need certainty that these emissions standards are dead, otherwise
they will waste your money trying to comply with an unconstitutional federal
regulation based on a treasonous hoax that should send Obama and his gang to
jail for a long time. The cost of production for 1 kwh of electricity is 2
cents/kwh for coal, 2 cents/kwh for nuclear, 5 cents/kwh for natural gas, and
10 to 14 cents/kwh for solar and wind.
Being forced to include solar and wind increases production costs 5
fold. Closing all coal plants is
suicidal.
The following
summarizes the EPA plan:
According to the EPA's release, by
2030, the plan will:
- - Cut carbon emission from the power sector by 30 percent nationwide;
- - Cut particle pollution, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide by more than 25 percent;
- - Avoid up to 6,600 premature deaths, up to 150,000 asthma attacks in children, and up to 490,000 missed work or school days—providing up to $93 billion in climate and public health benefits; and
- - Shrink electricity bills roughly 8 percent by increasing energy efficiency and reducing demand.
The Clean Power Plan will be implemented through a
state-federal partnership under which states identify a path forward using
either current or new electricity production and pollution control policies to
meet the goals of the proposed program.
On June 23, the Supreme
Court maintained the
EPA's power to regulate green house gas emissions with only minor restrictions.
This
ruling is in addition to another decision earlier this term that allowed the
EPA regulate air pollution that drift across state borders. The EPA is now able
to regulate 83% of sources related to greenhouse gas emissions.
EPA
2030 Plan is indefensible. 1. Carbon has
no effect on the climate and is not a pollutant. Carbon capture should be taken out of the
plan entirely. 2. Reductions in particle
pollution, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide could be considered unless it
raises our electric bills. 3. Claiming to prevent up to 6,600 premature deaths,
up to 150,000 asthma attacks in children, and up to 490,000 missed work or
school days is unprovable bull shit. 4. Shrink
electricity bills roughly 8 percent by increasing energy efficiency and
reducing demand won’t happen.
Electricity bills will increase by 500% and we will be forced to install
computer control of each electric outlet to be able to keep our electric bills
under 300%. Food will spoil and air conditioners will be turned off and that
will be the “new normal”.
