New EPA rules will destroy jobs, kill economies, and cause blackouts

Well, what did you expect?  On National Review Online Kathleen Hartnett White writes about the devastating effects of the EPA's new anti-coal Cross-State Air Pollution Rule.

Writes White,

"With compliance beginning January 2012, the new air-pollution rule leaves many coal-fired power plants with no alternative but to reduce output or shutter entirely.  Congress provided almost a decade to implement the acid-rain rules of the 1990s.  EPA’s national program to reduce nitrogen oxides allowed almost five years before initial compliance.  But the industry will have only a few months to comply with the first phase of this new rule."
