The EPA's latest assault on our way of life

Last month I suffered through a couple of two-day power outages. I threw out quite a bit of food, I suffered through cold showers, and I was essentially miserable during those dark times. But my unhappiness could be a preview of the future. Pajamas Media's Tatler reports that the cross-state regulation and the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule are the latest EPA assaults on our way of life. The blog writes that "rate hikes, lost power production leading to outages, lost jobs, worse economies" may result.

John,
I've noticed that Chicago is the ONLY place affected by this. Almost no coverage in media in GA. Why? I have clients in Chicago and they're telling me how bad it is but still... No media coverage to speak of. Could this be a litmus test to gauge reaction to widespread power outages?

I'm a terrible conspiracy theorist but this is really puzzling.

Our two power outages, the last one hit 800,000 people, were caused by downed power lines cut by fallen trees--AND--overheated transformers. The second one is key. Many MSM reporters were hit too, the northern suburbs is where most of theme live--and we got clobbered.

Interesting point you raise...interesting...
