President Obama and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rolled out its newly approved Clean Power Plan in early August with the supposed goal of reducing carbon pollution by an average of 32 percent below 2005 levels by the year 2030.
However, critics believe the plan will dismantle America’s last remaining industries, eliminating millions of American jobs and severely worsening the quality of living for countless individuals.
The EPA promotes its plan as having “achievable standards” for America’s power plants that are customizable for individual states.
The Washington Times reports that, under the plan, at least 12 states that are primarily dependent on coal will be forced to slash carbon emissions by 40 to 48 percent.
Missouria state sen. David Sater (R-Cassville) wrote in The Missouri Times that EPA’s plan forces “emission cuts [that] range from an 11% reduction in North Dakota to 72% in Washington.”
To meet the standards, he says Missouri is expected to “reduce its carbon emissions from 67.3 million tons in 2020 to 55.4 million tons in 2030, a decrease of almost 18 percent.”
The Washington Times reports that the EPA’s new plan will increase the number of recipients on welfare, force Americans to choose between buying food or gas, and inflict death in the weak and elderly when they cannot afford to heat their homes.
The Washington-based news paper also asserts the plan will cause environmental destruction as officials begin installing sprawling “wind and solar installations and transmission lines across millions of acres of wildlife and scenic areas will kill millions of eagles, hawks, and other birds and bats.”
EPA’s new Clean Power Plan is a ‘totalitarian decree’ imposed to remove affordable energy costs
