War on Coal Update


A cartoon posted on the Ohio Coal Assoc.'s Facebook page

Erika Johnson at the blog Hot Air ("War on coal, phase two: EPA finally publishes rules for new power plants") reports that the next round of strangulation EPA rules is essentially
a ban on the construction of coal-fired power plants (and even that reveal was the result of still another months-long delay as the administration struggled to formulate the rules in a way that could both survive the inevitable legal challenges while not restricting greenhouse-gas emissions so stringently as to disqualify even the construction of new natural gas plants . . .
The Federal Register text is here. The Ohio Coal Assoc. is not happy:
EPA's NSPS regulations are the latest destructive energy policy from the Obama Administration. Yet another example of the war on coal.
