EPA Admits New Coal Regulations Won't Reduce Global Warming

An Environmental Protection Agency proposal designed to reduce CO2 emissions and reduce global warming will actually have no “notable CO2 emission changes.”

So a rule that will essentially ban new coal-fired power plants will actually have no impact on global warming. Got it.

“The EPA does not anticipate that this proposed rule will result in notable CO2 emission changes, energy impacts, monetized benefits, costs, or economic impacts by 2022,” the EPA writes under the comments section of its proposal.

There is a war on coal, because it is our most abundant and developed source of energy here. We're like the Saudi Arabia of coal. Over time, new technologies have made it much cleaner than it used to be compared to the past. The market has been making these changes as new power plants go online and expensive retrofits have happened to extend the useful life of older plants.

Some people want to shut down coal, and the lack of energy will make our prices skyrocket. And look back at your electric bill - it's already happening! I wonder who benefits from all this...

Meanwhile, Mexico, China, and India can have all the dirty power that they want.
