New EPA rules could burn coal state Democrats

It’s not just electric companies and coal miners bracing for the Obama administration’s announcement Monday of tough rules to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from America’s roughly 600 coal-fired power plants, rules designed to cut U.S. power plant emissions by nearly a third in the next 15 years.

You think your electric bill is high now... wait and see what this does to your bill. Oh yea, by the way, it wont make a difference. Do yourself, your children, your grandchildren, friends and enemies a favor, VOTE in November and make sure it is for non-establishment politicians...

Where does the epa get any authority to do this? I guess they're more than a watchdog group?
