Today at 12:30 p.m. EST, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Acting Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation Janet McCabe will hold a press call on carbon pollution from power plants.
At the direction of President Obama and after an unprecedented outreach effort, EPA released the proposed Clean Power Plan in June 2014, which for the first time seeks to cut carbon pollution from existing power plants, the single largest source of carbon pollution in the United States. The proposal will protect public health, move the United States toward a cleaner environment and fight climate change while supplying Americans with reliable and affordable power.

The president declared a “War on coal” when he was a candidate in 2008, and this is a promise he’s keeping. His plan seems to be more about destroying American enterprise, and he’s doing it through our energy system by means of onerous regulations. So nuclear plants are too dangerous, and coal produces “unreasonable carbon emissions. He’s also attacked expansion of natural gas and oil production.
We’ve experienced climategate with leaked e-mails from so-called experts who have a political agenda. Most of us don’t accept the global warming narrative any longer. Instead, we’re experiencing weather, and if we looked at last year’s weather for the Evansville area, we’d see that 2014 was pretty much typical of normalcy for this region. I believe that there is a balance in nature and that it is arrogant to think that mankind somehow can cause global climate disasters, let alone fix it.
I don’t know why the president just doesn’t come out and declare victory over climate change since we’re now experiencing a cooling rather than a warming, and gas prices have dropped to levels close to what they were when he took office in 2009. I haven’t checked, but have the seas stopped rising?
