Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inhofe plans to highlight a little-known speech by an EPA regional administrator who admitted on video that the Obama’s administration’s air regulations will kill the coal industry. “Lisa Jackson has put forth a very powerful message to the country. Just two days ago, the decision on greenhouse gas performance standard and saying basically gas plants are the performance standard which means if you want to build a coal plant you got a big problem. That was a huge decision,” Region 1 EPA Administrator Curtis “Curt” Spalding says, in footage filmed at Yale University. “You can’t imagine how tough that was,” Spalding continued. “Because you got to remember if you go to West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and all those places, you have coal communities who depend on coal. And to say that we just think those communities should just go away, we can’t do that. But she had to do what the law and policy suggested. And it’s painful. It’s painful every step of the way.” Watch video here: Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/04/region-1-epa-administrator-obama-coal-rules-painful-every-step-of-the-way/#ixzz1wrvoxCDa |

in March a total of 46,405,204 persons were at or below poverty level and thus eligible for foodstamps, a 79K increase in the month. http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/34SNAPmonthly.htm |

I can hear it now... Jackson: Barry, we had another slip out our secret plan. Barry: OMG, Lisa, it never was a "secret" ...I told the world in '08 that the coal plants were "going to be charged a huge sum ...will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel, and other alternative energy approaches.” We need the money to subsidize. Do you not understand what is FAIR? |

I've read that it is not as big of a task to change coal plants to gas, though it is not free. With all the coal we have, you'd at least think they'd avoid making coal more difficult to export than most other products and commodities, but no! Destroy the jobs and ignore the problems. |
