The war on coal won't stop

Wonder if her replacement will use fake names for e-mails to hide the EPA agenda or if the office will be all transparent and forecoming in all their dealings? Was was her fake name? Richard Windsor or some such thing? Over 12,000 hidden e-mails?

The CO2 produced by burning coal has value when injected deep underground to enhance production of aging oil wells.

Obama EPA Kills 15 Power Plants, 480 Jobs In Georgia...

I just can’t make this stuff up and curly light bulbs and wind generators are not the answer either.

Georgia Power asked state regulators for permission to shut down 15 power plants yesterday, claiming new regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) make the plants too expensive to run.

The 15 coal-, oil- and natural gas-fired power plants currently produce 2,061 megawatts (MW) for Georgia energy consumers. Georgia Power plans to close 11 of the plants on the exact day the EPA’s new mercury regulations are set to take effect, April 16, 2015. Georgia Power will seek waivers from the EPA to keep four of the other plants open for a single year, and then shut those down too on April 16, 2016. It is unclear how the Georgia energy sector will make the 2 gigawatts up.

Hope4...Sounds like all those Georgians may have to be conservative on their electrical usage instead of just politics.

Sounds like a bunch of old pig plants that would have been closed anyway. They will just build new plants that can meet the mercury standards, write off the expense and make a profit in the end. Plus, it will surely reduce the low IQ rampant in the south as is evident by the regressive thinking (they do realize that they lost the Civil War 150 years ago don‘t they?). I also find it doubtful that any natural gas plant has any mercury pollution at all. Smoke and Mirrors.

What is wrong with shutting down dirty ineffecient electrical generating plants and replacing them with newer and cleaner effecient electrical generating plants? You create jobs shutting down the old and create jobs building the new and running the new ones. If it wasn't for the EPA we wouldn't even be able to see the blue sky or drink clean water!

I think if it was up to Obama, all we would have is nuclear energy, and that is NOT a safe option. He seems to want to shut down anything that promotes jobs.
