The EPA, without Congress or the permission of the American people, just sentenced fossil fuels to death. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Biden agency’s new rule means the end of natural gas-fueled electricity.
The Inflation Reduction Act didn’t have enforcement actions, so the Biden administration used the EPA to take care of that. They are circumventing Congress.
The 681-page Environmental Protection Agency proposed rule that amounts to a death sentence for fossil-fuel power plants, says the Journal.
The rule forces a generation shift in electric power to renewables from coal. This is after the Supreme Court rejected it in the Clean Power Act.
Basically, the Biden regime is ignoring the Supreme Court and Congress. This is tyranny.
“Section 111 of the Clean Air Act says the EPA can regulate pollutants from stationary sources through the “best system of emission reduction” that is “adequately demonstrated.” Yet the EPA wants to require that fossil-fuel plants adopt carbon capture and green hydrogen technologies that aren’t currently cost-effective or feasible, and may never be. Only one commercial-scale coal plant in the world uses carbon capture to reduce emissions, and no gas-fired plants do.
“Even if power plants implemented carbon capture, their cost of generation would double, rendering them less competitive against subsidized wind and solar power. There’s also the not-so-small problem of permitting. Thousands of miles of pipelines would have to be built to transport carbon to geologic structures where it can be injected.”
A dictator and unelected bureaucrats in executive agencies rule over us. The American people have nothing to say about any of this.

He can try to do what he wants. There’s a year plus left of his insertion. Just like he penned out all that worked his first day Trump will undo all pudding pops magoo has done.
The EPA needs to be immediately defunded and eliminated. All Federal EPA regulations need to be rescinded. The States can work out EPA Issues.
The Biden Deep State knows that in October the Republican Budget Hammer will fall so they are doing all they can to destroy America in the hope that in the Mayhem they can survive.
Climate Change is a Hoax to try and make you think the Government is doing something Important. No Matter what we as Humans do there will be Climate Change and we have no control over it, except for maybe destruction of the Planet via Nuclear War. But even that will be short lived in the History of the World. Instead of the ridiculous idea that we can control the Climate we should be developing Technology via the FREE MARKET that helps us deal with the changes.
