this very chilling report:
Coal Plant Retirements due to EPA Regulations
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has dangerously underestimated the impact of its back-door mandates on affordable coal-based electricity generation. Instead of the 4.8 to 9.5 gigawatts (GW) of electric plant retirements predicted by EPA, 57 power plants with 25.1 GW of generating capacity have already gone on the chopping block due to U-MACT and CSAPR. That means more than 29,000 workers are losing their jobs, millions of consumers will be paying more for their electricity and the reliability of our electricity supply is being compromised.
25.1 gigawatts is enough electric generating capacity to power 18.8 million homes. All retirements based on publicly available information.
Obama. Must. Go. As must the Environmental "Protection" Agency.
