Obama EPA enacts cap-and-trade agenda: ‘No new power plant will be allowed to emit more than 1,000 pounds of CO2 per megawatt of electricity produced’
'On avg., U.S. coal plants emit 1,768 pounds of CO2 per megawatt of electricity. The rule requires future plants to use as yet non-existent carbon capture & control technologies to cut their emissions to new standard. With no technology available to bring down CO2 emissions to new standard, EPA, in name of combating climate change, is effectively telling coal industry, which produces 55% of our nation's electricity, that its days are numbered'
