Utility rates will sky rocket with new EPA Rules
Sure looks like the family budget is going to be devastated by The EPA and The United Nations carbon recover deals!
Time to go on welfare with rest of the poor folks that The American Congress has made for the NWO![:D]

In an letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, Smith questioned the viability of the Carbon Capture and Storage technology required in the proposed, "Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions for New Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units" regulations.
"With industry insiders involved in the development of CCS technology openly declaring that it is not ready to be commercially deployed, and the Third National Climate Assessment declaring that it is "difficult to forecast success" for the technology, it strains the limits of reason for you to determine that carbon capture and sequestration technology has been "adequately demonstrated." Before you finalize rules that would impose a regressive energy tax through regulations that amount to a de-facto ban on coal power plants, I would urge you to note that carbon capture and sequestration technology is neither "achievable" nor "adequately demonstrated" as required by Congress in the Clean Air Act."

Here's FERC Commissioner Moeller's statement.
"In my initial dissent in this proceeding, I observed that "[n]ow is not the time for this Commission to begin retreating from its incentive policy on needed transmission lines." And today, if we are going to produce less carbon dioxide when generating electricity, we'll need more transmission lines to move cleaner sources of power to those who need it. In particular, because RITELine will allow power to move from the west to the east, this project can help nuclear and wind power move from the west, where it is produced, to the east, where it is needed.
"This action thus sets up a collision between two federal agencies that regulate the energy industry. That is, while the Environmental Protection Agency is moving to limit carbon dioxide, which will require more transmission lines, this Commission is changing its policies on transmission incentives in a manner that actually discourages the very transmission that will be needed to satisfy EPA requirements.
OH, and the United Kingdom is looking at WW II style energy rationing because they can't provide enough electricity with wind. Thanks National Grid.
