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.

My general reaction is summarized by this gif: i.imgur.com/NGjC2.gif

Sheriff Cooke, for his part, said that he was entitled to use discretion in enforcement, especially when he believed the laws were wrong or unenforceable.

“In my oath it says I’ll uphold the U.S. Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Colorado,” he said, as he posed for campaign photos in his office — he is running for the State Senate in 2014. “It doesn’t say I have to uphold every law passed by the Legislature.”
