EEI, 21 States Unload on Biden EPA re New Gas-Fired Plant Regs

In May, the Bidenistas at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a hellscape of new regulations (681 pages) aimed at forcing coal- and natural gas-fired power plants to close (see New Biden EPA Regs a “Death Sentence” for Fossil-Fuel Power Plants). The editors of the Wall Street Journal called the new EPA regulations “An EPA Death Sentence for Fossil-Fuel Power Plants,” with the subtitle “The Biden agency’s new rule means the end of natural gas-fueled electricity.” Although usually in bed with the government, utility companies, most of them represented by the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) trade organization, filed official comments on Tuesday, objecting to the proposed regulations. Also filing comments against the regs was a coalition of 21 states headed by West Virginia. It seems nobody wants these regulations.
