EPA's Agenda Attack On Coal - It's Control! : Next - Oil & Natural Gas

This isn't just a war on coal - this is war on prosperity for the average citizen. The progressive socialist democrats believe if they can reduce a person option for success as individuals, they will have no other option then to become wards of the state, compiling with dictates that require new allocation of personal resources to just survive. The price for energy will explode.

It's understood that our betters in Washington know that fossil fuels provide more then 40% of all our energy needs and will be necessary into the foreseeable future to provide the energy we needed for progress and prosperity, but is of no importance to the progressives, what is important that by reducing fossil resources, control of the population will become much easier.

That is, when fossil fuels are reduced and reliance is totally on renewables that can't meet the demands of industry or the people, and as a result of having no other access to energy when the wind doesn't blow or sun doesn't shine, what's left for the citizen is submission to those that demanded the people must do with less, must do with what energy allocations the progressive socialists and environmentalist, one and the same, have decided what is necessary for you to make a life for yourself and your family.

Oregon & EPA Launch Aggressive Moves Against Coal
By Lloyd Bentsen March 14,2016

Oregon is now one of the first states to announce that it plans to officially wean itself off coal consumption. Governor Kate Brown signed a bill that prohibits the state’s utilities from purchasing coal-fired power after 2030. The bill is largely symbolic, since Oregon is not a coal producing state and consumes very little coal. In fact, Oregon produces and consumes far more hydroelectric energy than coal and natural gas.
  • The level of coal consumption has been steadily rising in Oregon.
  • Coal consumption is only 3 percent of all fossil fuel consumption.
  • Coal consumption is only 2 percent of all fuel and renewable energy consumption.
  • Hydroelectric power accounts for close to 35 to 40 percent of all of Oregon’s energy consumption.
In addition to Oregon’s anti-coal move, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that 11 states have failed to submit plans to reduce sulfur dioxide air pollution. The EPA says the states have not reduced their emissions enough to meet federal limits or submitted plans to the EPA outlining how they will meet an October 2018 deadline for meeting standards.

Both of these efforts will more than likely have very little effect. Oregon is not much of a coal consuming state and the EPA’s deadline comes after the next federal administration is sworn into office.
