New EPA Regulations on Coal-fired Power Plants
A friend just sent me this article describing the new EPA regulations on coal-fired power plants.
I respond:
Thanks. Kind of moot, though, don’t you think? The regulations don’t apply to currently existing or already permitted plants? It’s not as if we’re in a hurry to build more coal plants with natural gas prices so low. I think I’ll file this under “hoopla.” 🙂
Laugh if you must Craig, but this is the first time the EPA has recognized in a regulation that CO2 emissions at power-plant scale are treated as a pollutant. This is definitely a step in the right direction. Be thankful for that and see what comes next.
Good point; that’s a good perspective.
Step by step, just think of all the things that get done with all the lobby money! Boy aren’t they real job creators. Wouldn’t want to make it hard to get a job in America! with excessive controls. The poor shareholders of Coal Plants need the dividends to retire on. ETC.
