A few months ago, Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced economy-crushing, liberty-limiting, rules that would theoretically eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from the nation’s electricity sector by 2040.

U.S. power plant owners warned these plans are unworkable, relying too heavily on costly technologies that are not yet proven at scale.

Top utility trade group the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for revisions of the proposed power plant standards, which hinge on the widespread commercial availability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and low-emissions green hydrogen, adding the agency’s vision was “not legally or technically sound.”

“Electric companies are not confident that the new technologies EPA has designated to serve as the basis for proposed standards for new and existing fossil-based generation will satisfy performance and cost requirements on the timelines that EPA projects,” EEI said in a public comment released on Tuesday on the agency’s deadline for feedback.

Resistance from the EEI and other energy-related groups poses a potentially big challenge to the administration’s climate agenda.

.............that is the exact point.

Yea, I was going to say that unworkable plans are the hallmarks of communism. They're not supposed to work. They only need to sound good. The green new deal being the most contemporary.

and unfortunately it seems like most will not make that connection you laid out until its past the point of no return.

Never forget the 300 people who died in Texas during the cold snap. They only died because the Biden administration refused to allow auxiliary capacity coal -fired power plants to start up in the week prior when the grid operators were literally begging to do so.

It’s obvious that the whole point to this is to make the American power grid unstable and to literally kill Americans.

Biden murdered Americans that week.The fact that he hasn’t been impeached for purposefully doing so shows that the republicans are no better, and he’s going to do keep murdering since he isn’t being held accountable.
