...so they are rushing to promulgate regulations into effect before December. These regs will essentially kill coal as a source of energy in America. http://washingtonexaminer.com/novem...-coal-regulation/article/2512538#.UJfBL2e9EwR Note that the EPA pulled a similar stunt in 2000 after Gore got beaten.
Read up. Especially all you voters in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia. Obama and his EPA are so determined to stifle the coal industry and its jobs, that they are planning a lame-duck number of regulations to achieve that goal. Just think what they'll do IF they win and have another 4 years where they don't have to worry about re-election. "President Obamas Environmental Protection Agency has devoted an unprecedented number of bureaucrats to finalizing new anti-coal regulations that are set to be released at the end of November, according to a source inside the EPA. More than 50 EPA staff are now crashing to finish greenhouse gas emission standards that would essentially ban all construction of new coal-fired power plants. Never before have so many EPA resources been devoted to a single regulation. The independent and non-partisan Manhattan Institute estimates that the EPAs greenhouse gas coal regulation will cost the U.S. economy $700 billion. The rush is a major sign of panic by environmentalists inside the Obama administration. If Obama wins, the EPA would have another four full years to implement their anti-fossil fuel agenda. But if Romney wins, regulators will have a very narrow window to enact a select few costly regulations that would then be very hard for a President Romney to undo." http://washingtonexaminer.com/novem...-coal-regulation/article/2512538#.UJfTBMWHK8B
EPA is (and has been for decades) a rogue agency and needs to have its funding and powers drastically curtailed.
