I was surprised to see a reality check on this unreasonable resolution.
The supporters of this regulations were set to make huge profits.
When anyone with an engineering or scientific background questioned the background research supporting this regulation, the Grand Inquisition comes to mind.
Story:
The US Senate voted on Tuesday to block President Obama’s tough new climate change regulations. This may undermine his negotiating authority before a major international climate summit meeting in Paris this month.
The Senate resolution would scuttle a rule that would significantly cut alleged heat-trapping carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants. The President's backed Environmental Protection Agency rule, released in August 2015, were the centerpiece of Mr. Obama’s efforts to address climate change.
A second resolution, which also passed 52 to 46, would strike (delete) a related Environmental Protection Agency rule intended to freeze construction of future coal-fired power plants.
Three Democrats from states in which coal plays a major role in the economy, Senators Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Donnelly of Indiana, helped lead support of the outcome of the resolutions.
My electrical power is in fact Natural Gas running through extremely efficient turbines (95%) and Wind Power (5%). Our state started an effort to close coal power years ago. While there are still coal power plants in the area being replaced, my local power is no longer coal.
