EPA Falsifies Data on Coal, Bypasses Its Own Scientists Who Loudly Cry Foul

You may recall that when Barack Obama was running for president in 2008, he said he would “bankrupt” the coal-fired energy industry. That would mean everyone’s energy prices would “necessarily skyrocket,” and he thought that was a good thing.

This editorial in the Wall Street Journal the other day (subscription required) shows that Obama’s politicized Environmental Protection Agency is doing all it can to make his promise happen. And to do so, Obama’s EPA is engaging in a War On Science.

According to the WSJ, the EPA “cut out the [agency’s] independent science advisers who exposed the junk science behind the EPA ban on newcoal power.”

“Socialism does work”

I tuned into the other side of the debate this morning:

Holy moley. There will be no winning of the argument. Separatism is the solution. Them recreate the socialist paradise, but let them do it without us.

This guy presents such a dense, moralizing tangle of misinformation. I want to do the work of picking it apart, but I’ve done it so many times before and it takes so much time.
