In an editorial, the
Detroit News (9/15) said the Environmental Protection Agency will soon issue emissions caps “that will effectively ban the construction of new coal plants in the” US. “For the first time ever, EPA is becoming a regulator of energy,” Ross Eisenberg, Vice President of Energy and Resources Policy at the National Association of Manufacturers told the Wall Street Journal. “The rule they’re putting out there is going to force choices as to which energy you use, and that’s a very disturbing concept for manufacturers.” Clearly, the Detroit News said, “these issues are a matter of public policy and need to be debated by elected representatives.”
Under the headline, “War On Coal: Obama Doesn’t Do Pinpricks,” the
National Review (9/13, Payne) “

lanet Gore” blog reported the “EPA is plotting an attack on the” energy sector “that would decimate future coal-plant construction in the name of fighting global warming.” “For the first time ever, EPA is becoming a regulator of energy. The rule they’re putting out there is going to force choices as to which energy you use, and that’s a very disturbing concept for manufacturers,” Ross Eisenberg of the National Association of Manufacturers told the Wall Street Journal. Congress “should protest this ill-conceived war on coal.”
The radical obama regime somehow wants the masses to believe they care about jobs and affordable energy, yet they systematically have gone about dismantling the coal industry through administrative fiat. The marxist dictatorship sees no bounds.
