EPA Reversing Biden’s Impossible Power Plant Rules, Averting Blackouts And Higher Rates
Why the EPA is right to roll back Biden’s blackout regulations.
by Isaac Orr and Mitch Rolling  Mar 20, 2025 
 
Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it would roll back the Biden administration’s greenhouse gas emissions standards on power plants. [emphasis, links added]

That’s great news for consumers, who will suffer from widespread blackouts and billions of dollars in costs if the rules are not repealed.


The Biden administration’s rules, finalized in May 2024, would subject millions of people to rolling blackouts by effectively forcing reliable coal plants to retire and erecting impediments to building the new natural gas plants needed to replace them reliably.

Under Biden’s rules, coal and new natural gas plants would be forced to spend billions of dollars installing unproven carbon capture and sequestration technology to capture 90% of their emissions or shut down by 2039.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Rise in gas and electric bills prompts outcry in Mass., calls for state to review hikes

WAMC Northeast Public Radio | By James Paleologopoulos
Published February 20, 2025 at 5:12 PM EST

Expensive electric bills during the winter are nothing new in the Northeast, but residents across Massachusetts say they’re really feeling the burn this season – all just to keep the heat going. It’s enough to get state and local officials to call out utility companies as well as regulators who approved some of the most recent rate hikes. ...

... Also hearing from constituents for weeks, Hampden, Hampshire and Worcester State Senator Jake Oliveira says their concerns led to him and dozens of lawmakers signing onto a letter calling on the DPU to reassess the rate increases.

The letter claims a number of residents face around a 27 percent increase in costs this heating season – a matter Governor Maura Healey is also now weighing in on. ...

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has said this has been a long time coming because of the energy supply deficit in Mass.  We got off easy because the last few Winters have been mild.  We finally had a seasonably cold Winter, and the $h!t hit the fan.

Massachusetts can thank New York (as can all of New England) for the lack of cheap natural gas to heat with and even generate electricity. After all, New York won't allow a pipeline, not just outlawing fracing so their own in state resources can be used, but preventing Gas from elsewhere being transported across the State.

So they run a debt of 180 billion dollars, while States that use their resources run with a surplus. (Oil and Gas fund half our State budget in ND, by comparison).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The New England States, the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commision could sue New York State in the US Supreme Court.

Mass won't because they're all in on the Big Climate Change fraud.  It will take action by other states or the Federal Government to change things.

To these nitwits, carbon is worse than Hitler.
