EPA to Whack Power Plants That Fuel the Nation’s Grid

The all-powerful Biden EPA is finalizing a plan to force fossil fuel-fired power plants to dramatically curb emissions. Their other option is to utilize costly carbon capture technology. When did Biden get the mandate to do this?

Only 20 of the nation’s more than 3,000 plants use the technology.

Coal Power Plant At a River

The EPA, an agency of unelected bureaucrats, recently decided that gasoline-powered engines will be canceled.

This proposal slams the nation’s power grid while Biden threatens war with nuclear nations.

The nation’s energy system is a significant source of US wealth. The proposal will likely require coal and natural gas-fired power plants to cut or capture most CO2 emissions by 2040. In other words, they’re sunsetting fossil fuels. The investment in power plants will soon end.

The New York Times reported the news on Saturday, citing officials briefed on a draft of the plan. If finalized, the regulation would represent the first-ever federal action curbing power plant emissions.

“EPA cannot comment because the proposals are currently under interagency review,” EPA spokesperson Maria Michalos told Fox News Digital in a statement.

This is based on computer-generated projections of what will reduce the earth’s temperature.

“Maria Michalos, an E.P.A. spokeswoman, said the agency is “moving urgently to advance standards that protect people and the planet, building on the momentum from President Biden’s Investing in America economic agenda, including proposals to address carbon emissions from new and existing power plants.”

In other words, they’re destroying the country as quickly as possible.

If unelected bureaucrats in the EPA move to destroy our power plants, shouldn’t we at least require that a law be passed first?

Your costs will skyrocket!

This is the deep state in action – the administrative state we didn’t get to vote for.

The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people gwith fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and hthey cursed2 the name of God who had power over these plagues. iThey did not repent jand give him glory.

I remember the bumper sticker from the 70s that said, “Environmentalists Won’t Be Happy Until We’re All Freezing In The Dark”. Now it appears they are going to get their way. People are whining now about energy costs. Just wait. But too many of them refuse to accept the war on fossil fuels waged by the leftists that they voted for, is causing this.

Constitutionally, the government has no role in energy production.

The hampering of our energy production is one of the few key parts of the intentional effort to ruin the USA. This is much more than just some crazy leftists doing this. This has wide support in elite financial and political circles.

The fossil fuel industry is not a major polluter. I worked in that industry for about 2 years long ago. By then, sulfur dioxide emissions were reduced to near zero. The Earth gets more of that type of pollution (sulfur and nitrogen oxides) naturally, from eruptions. Even rain clears up the little in the atmosphere.

If they are trying to limit CO2, they want to limit an important component of our atmosphere which is at 0.04%, very low historically. Capturing CO2 would make all fossil fuel usage too expensive. Our government wants to destroy us.

But government employees will be able to afford as much as they need to live in their accustomed manner by raising taxes,

To reduce CO2, they’ll need to reduce the population; oh shucks that’s part of the plan! (sarc)

So Richard Trumpka Sr destroyed the UMWA pensions and black lung fund now Jr will end the entire coal industry after his dad made off with the goodies? I’ve met them both numerous times years ago when Jr was a kid and Sr was the president of the UMWA and they came to various gatherings in district 14 where my father worked and was a local officer. Shoulda beat the snotty nosed brats butt then he always acted like he was above everyone there. I never trusted SR and told my father so but he was a loyal union man until the day he died.
