EPA Will Dismantle This Obama Climate Reg

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans on repealing an Obama-era requirement effectively mandating all new coal-fired power plants be outfitted with unproven emissions technology, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

EPA will modify the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for power plants as part of its effort to repeal the Clean Power Plan (CPP) — the centerpiece of the Obama administration’s climate agenda. EPA will drop the de facto requirement that new coal plants install carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology Obama administration critics said would make it nearly impossible to build new coal plants.

“It’s fantastic that the Trump EPA is repealing the Obama EPA’s ban on new coal-fired power plants,” Junkscience.com publisher Steve Milloy told TheDCNF.

  1. At least half the population has been convinced that a rise of 0.3 degrees F per decade since 1970 is proof that the global climate is hypersensitive to our burning of petroleum and coal. The truth is that the Earth's climate is a robust and redundant system of energy transfer that has lasted billions of years, and it is far more complicated than the models Climate Science swears by. We realized that climate doesn't always do what we want it to after farming became our primary source of food production, and whole mythologies have been developed in vain to make the weather more farmer friendly. When Claudius invaded Britain, the seas were about ten feet higher than they are now. Yet, there sits the United Kingdom, completely undisturbed by rising and falling oceans. The big climate scare is proof that, even in the Science Age
