"EPA to propose cutting carbon-dioxide emissions from coal plants up to 30% by 2030"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/nation...f0a_story.html

I guess the administation is fed up with all these climate deniers in congress sitting on their hands while snorting up all those Koch campaign contributions.
I fear it's all too little too late, though. 'Waterworld' was an optimist's view.

You are right that it is too late. Living downwind from Ohio's coal fired plants it won't be in my lifetime when the ground water goes from acid to neutral.

The man does keep his promises. I guess if he can't get Cap and Trade through Congress, he'll just raise rates by executive order.

Now, I wonder when we'll get around to taking on the issues that the country actually has rather than the issues that are imaginary.

Rather a lot of hype as many companies were already converting to natural gas because of the dropping prices. With gas they do not have the vast problem of ash disposal.

Imaginary eh? You really are fulla crap this morning Mike.

Yeh, maybe you're right, the biggest problem facing the country right now is the wacked assertion that 501c4s can spend any money on politics. Make them use their money as the law was written, on social welfare.

President Obama's pitch aimed squarely at parents and grandparents.

Poor DJ, some local skinhead surfers scare you so bad that you moved to Phoenix? Sounds like you jumped into a mosh pit and everyone stepped aside and let you land on your face.
