Obama’s ‘Clean Power Plan’ Punishes Workers & Consumers

Obama’s ‘Clean Power Plan’ Punishes Workers & Consumers | National Review Online:
"President Obama’s Clean Power Plan for existing and new power plants stretches to a combined 2,328 pages, exclusive of supporting documents and fact sheets.
The language is Orwellian, with talk of “a partnership between the EPA and the states under which the EPA establishes emission guidelines and the states take the lead on implementing them by establishing emission standards or creating plans that are consistent with the EPA emission guidelines.”
It’s no partnership if Big Brother is imposing its will on the different states. 
The Clean Power Plan would, by 2030, reduce CO2 emissions from the utility sector by 32 percent from 2005 levels.
It would raise electricity prices by an average of 15 percent, discouraging energy-intensive manufacturing. 
These reductions are not uniform across states.
As the chart below shows, 38 states will be forced to reduce emissions. 
Reductions vary from 37 percent in North Dakota to 1 percent in Delaware and Mississippi. Nine states, including Idaho, Washington, Maine, Oregon, and California, will be able to increase their CO2 emissions.
Hawaii and Alaska are exempt from the program..."
