    EPA Announces new pollution controls. GOP says just what you expect.

    EPA announces tougher pollution controls, especially on US power plants.

    Republican turtle Mitch McConnell (Kentucky) said : "EPA Proposal is a Dagger in the heart of the middle class". Other republicans chime in with their usual nonsense.

    Is anyone ever surprised anymore?

    Come on Vendy, explain this one...

              I like this nonsensical quote especially-

              Mitch McConnell?s Democratic opponent, Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, is also running on a pro-coal platform.

              Grimes said the EPA rule shows ?Washington isn?t working for Kentucky,? citing coal?s role in the state?s economy.

              ?When I'm in the U.S. Senate, I will fiercely oppose the president?s attack on Kentucky?s coal industry because protecting our jobs will be my number one priority.?

                  I can tell you first hand, the economy of Eastern Kentucky is at a standstill because of new coal regulations. The amount of poverty and government aid is staggering.

                      They are only doing this to reduce CO2 emissions. CO2 is not pollution. Even if it were this will have no impact on a global scale.

                      All this is going to do is to lead to more of that awful fracking that you hate so much and drive up the cost of natural gas.

                      Well done.

                          oh, that's right eh, you spend time there. I'm looking forward to hitting Nashville someday soon.

                          I understand the goal of lowering pollution and I also play my part in helping achieve that goal but as I understand it, each state has their own EPA that's tasked with customizing pollution regs for that state based on its' unique situation. What's happening here is the PUSA is using an executive order to not only bypass the state's regulatory authority, but also skips congress on this.

                          It seems to me that each state needs to handle their own business, a shotgun blast federal approach to regulations like this seems myopic, especially when handled via exec authority.

                                  Senate Democrats from energy-producing states blasted the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal to rein in carbon emissions from power plants —

                                  “While it is important to reduce carbon in the atmosphere, this should not be achieved by EPA regulations,” Sen. Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., said in a release. “Congress should set the terms, goals and timeframe.”


                                  Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va., also criticized the proposed rule.

                                  “There is no doubt that seven billion people have had an impact on our world’s climate; however, the proposed EPA rule does little to address the global problem with global solutions,” Manchin said in a statement. “Instead, today’s rule appears to be more about desirability rather than reliability or feasibility, with little regard for rising consumer prices, the effects on jobs and the impact on the reliability of our electric grid.”


                                  Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., was also cautious in her response, saying she is still looking at the rule.

                                  “Today, coal produces 40 percent of the electricity in the U.S., and nearly 80 percent of the electricity in North Dakota,” Heitkamp said, “I’m still reviewing this extensive rule to determine the impact on the U.S. and North Dakota.


                                  Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, one of a group of vulnerable Democrats, “From the initial review of materials released today, this rule exempts all of rural Alaska, but could impact a handful of Railbelt power plants,” Begich continued. “I will work closely with both the EPA and the State of Alaska to ensure that any final rule is flexible and protects Alaska businesses and families.”

                                  Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat who represents manufacturing-heavy Ohio, stressed that states need flexibility to address carbon emissions and climate change.

                                  “Proposals to reduce climate change must give states the flexibility to increase energy efficiency, improve our air quality, and invest in clean energy technology at our power plants, homes, and businesses,”

                                              since there seems to be a lot of US money in canadian policy on fracking..

                                              perhaps he is doing his best to help his local area.. yes?

                                                  You are suggesting that he is against United States fracking for environmental reasons, but okay with Canadian fracking for economic reasons. We finally agree on something. He is a hypocrite!

                                                              you can either infiltrate our government, or you can have us not care about your politics

                                                              you can't have both.

                                                                  It was a documentary on one of the earliest great civilizations...The Egyptians.

                                                                  They showed excavations of small "towns" back in 9000 B.C.

                                                                  Then they showed bones from elephants, giraffes, antelopes, bison, etc.

                                                                  Somewhere around 5000 B.C. the rains stopped, the area dried up...and became a harsh desert that we know today.

                                                                  Guess what? The Earth CHANGES. With or without human actions.

                                                                  Unless Mark Prince would like to suggest that perhaps primitive people were racing around in their evil cars and burning coal to stay warm etc., etc.

                                                                  That's the one thing I never see "climate change" nutcases ever explain...the world's climate CHANGES over time no matter what.

                                                                  But that's always left out of the equation. It's always mankind driving everything.

                                                                  I say...that's just plain egotistical nonsense.

                                                                                                  "the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects."

                                                                                                  so while CO2 might be present in nature, human industries that adds more CO2 to the environment would be considered 'pollution', as the additional CO2 would be considered 'harmful'

                                                                                                  now that we have recapped our previous conversations..

                                                                                                          Then they showed bones from elephants, giraffes, antelopes, bison, etc.
                                                                                                          How could that be?

                                                                                                          Here's how and WHY:
                                                                                                          9000 B.C. The Sahara Desert was a savannah. Full of green vegetation, fields of green for animals to graze on. And early humans were there as hunters and gatherers.

                                                                                                          Somewhere around 5000 B.C. the rains stopped, the area dried up...and became a harsh desert that we know today.

                                                                                                          Guess what? The Earth CHANGES. With or without human actions.

                                                                                                          Unless Mark Prince would like to suggest that perhaps primitive people were racing around in their evil cars and burning coal to stay warm etc., etc.

                                                                                                          That's the one thing I never see "climate change" nutcases ever explain...the world's climate CHANGES over time no matter what.

                                                                                                          But that's always left out of the equation. It's always mankind driving everything.

                                                                                                          I say...that's just plain egotistical nonsense.

                                                                                                                              CO2 is not pollution. If you insist that it is then, using your logic, you will also have to classify water vapour as pollution.

                                                                                                                                                  "the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects."

                                                                                                                                                  so while CO2 might be present in nature, human industries that adds more CO2 to the environment would be considered 'pollution', as the additional CO2 would be considered 'harmful'
                                                                                                                                                  sadly incorrect. Your take on CO2 is no different than saying releasing extra oxygen in the air would be pollution. Just because an agency wants to tax something and calls it "pollution" to accomplish the taxation does not mean serious people think its pollution.

And it becomes a problem.
                                                                                                                                                              so stop clearing out the plant life.

                                                                                                                                                                          Quebec is actually a very green place and Montreal itself has over 50 large parks. I'm hoping that Fracking will be banned here altogether but in case I don't get my wish, I hope very strong, tough laws & punishments will be in place to stop these companies from destroying everything.
