EPA Region 1 Adminstrator Curt Spalding Says ‘Law and Policy’ Require the EPA to Stomp Coal Plants Out, Which is ‘Painful Every Step of the Way’ ...

THIS is why the economy is at a stand still. 
Why spend any money - any investment - hire any individual when the Administration....just like that - can "do away" with a sector of business....of the economy.
Do away with individual companies....individual jobs......vendor commitments....need I go on..?....with a snap of the proverbial finger. 
Just like that. 
"It was painful"......
I'm quite sure not as painful as it was to those you just DESTROYED......

But know right now, we are, we are struggling. We are struggling because we are trying to do our jobs. Lisa Jackson has put forth a very powerful message to the country. Just two days ago, the decision on greenhouse gas performance standard and saying basically gas plants are the performance standard which means if you want to build a coal plant you got a big problem. That was a huge decision. You can’t imagine how tough that was. Because you got to remember if you go to West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and all those places, you have coal communities who depend on coal. And to say that we just think those communities should just go away, we can’t do that. But she had to do what the law and policy suggested. And it’s painful. It’s painful every step of the way.
