Study Finds Massive Blackouts Coming from Biden’s Power Plant Regs

In May, the Bidenistas at the 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.” A new report by the Center of the American Experiment (below) finds that the new EPA rules and subsidies for wind and solar in President Biden’s so-called “Inflation Reduction Act,” (IRA) would cause devastating blackouts in one of the largest regional electric grids in the country -- the Midcontinent Independent Systems Operator (MISO) -- currently serving 45 million Americans in a geographic footprint stretching from Minnesota to Mississippi.
