The EPA is on the warpath against coal-burning power plants. For a sane view of coal, see the recent New American article “Coal: The Rock that Burns.” Thanks Nixon for giving us the EPA. And a special thanks to the “limited-government, low-regulation” Republicans for not abolishing the EPA when they controlled the Congress and the White House.
Prediction: If the Republicans win control of the Senate and the White House and hang on to control of the House, we will still have the EPA four years from now when the Republicans say to reelect them so they can shrink government and eliminate regulations.
No, I am not in favor of pollution. But I am in favor of free markets, property rights, and non-government solutions to problems.
