Coal fired power plants are creating 30 percent of the CO2 emissions of the USA.
The opposition is happy because they are getting political cover from FOX News. The carbon capture is not effective and there has been no resolution for years. The plant that is a model is a failure. The project is way over budget and over the time of delivery of the technology. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
Manchin is nothing but rhetoric.

An outspoken Democratic senator (click here) is challenging the EPA's controversial power plant regulations by alleging they are based on a failing Canadian project, saying it makes “no sense” to force U.S. coal-fired plants to meet new standards using unproven technology.
“We’ve based our plans on what we should be doing in America to provide the energy people depend upon on a failed operation in Canada, and it’ll be another year or two years before they prove whether it can be done or not,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer. Manchin serves on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee in the Senate.
The Obama administration's Clean Power Plan seeks new standards to dramatically reduce carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants. The limits are based on what the EPA calls “a new efficient coal unit implementing partial carbon capture and storage.”
But Manchin, who has been a vocal critic of the EPA’s plan, says the final rule for coal-fired power plants is based largely off a still-developing power plant unit in Canada – the Boundary Dam CCS project....

For years, heck decades, (click here) the Union of Concerned Scientists have sought to enlist the USA federal government to act to remove the dangers of the climate crisis by lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Finally, the USA has a government administration that sees the danger of the climate crisis caused by greenhouse gases and the age old power plants causing this problem, which is a national security issue, and is acting on it.
The reason Congressmen and Congresswomen are complaining about the regulations is because of their cronies.
The states involved never sought a better and healthier jobs with legislation or industry solicitation for their people. The danger to human alone to the lives of the coal miners and the pollution of the water and air, other than greenhouse gases, of these American communities is hideous and ridiculous. Even if the US EPA did not rule on the greenhouse gases the coal mines should be shut down for the pruely disgusting environmental dangers.
I don't know where everyone thinks they are going with this because there was already a case before the US Supreme Court.
Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency, 549 U.S. 497 (2007) (click here)
The US EPA has been DIRECTED by the US Supreme Court to act against the pollution of greenhouse gases. This is not politics. This is a court decision to protect the lives of Americans and I would expect a Democrat on this day following the profound tragedy in Paris, France to recognize the needed change in the energy sources for the USA.
Shame on them.
