Biden’s GREEN FANTASY Collapses – EPA BACKTRACKS!

EPA finally admits that Biden’s carbon limits were never actually achievable with existing technology, shocking absolutely no one with common sense.

At a Glance

• EPA is reconsidering Biden-era “Clean Power Plan 2.0” that imposed unrealistic carbon limits on coal and gas power plants
• The carbon capture technology required to meet these limits is not commercially viable
• Republican-led states, utility companies, and coal industry stakeholders have challenged the regulation in court
• The Supreme Court has declined emergency requests to block the rule while litigation continues
• EPA’s draft plan would remove these unworkable greenhouse gas caps from power plants

The EPA’s Admission of Failure

In what amounts to a rare moment of clarity from a federal bureaucracy, the Environmental Protection Agency is drafting a plan to remove Biden’s unrealistic carbon dioxide emission caps from coal and natural gas-fired power plants. This marks the third major attempt by the EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, proving once again that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. The Biden administration’s so-called “Clean Power Plan 2.0” was never about clean power – it was about shutting down reliable energy sources with requirements that couldn’t possibly be met.

Fantasy Technology vs. Reality

The Biden-era regulation mandated significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions that could only be achieved through one method: carbon capture and sequestration technology. There’s just one tiny problem – this technology isn’t commercially viable. It’s like mandating that all Americans must commute to work using personal jetpacks by next Tuesday. The technology exists in concept and limited application, but it’s nowhere near ready for nationwide implementation at the scale required. This is the hallmark of leftist environmental policy – mandate first, figure out if it’s actually possible later.

Legal Challenges Mount

Unsurprisingly, this regulation has faced fierce legal challenges from Republican-led states, utility companies, and coal industry stakeholders who live in the real world where actions have consequences. These groups have argued – correctly – that the rule is both economically and technologically unfeasible. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, in its infinite wisdom, allowed the rule to take effect anyway, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined emergency requests to block it, though they have not issued a final ruling on the case.

The Hidden Costs of Green Dreams

The practical implications of this regulation, had it remained unchallenged, would have been devastating for ordinary Americans. Energy costs would have skyrocketed as reliable power sources were forced offline before adequate replacements were available. Our energy independence – something we fought hard to achieve – would have been sacrificed on the altar of climate ideology, forcing increased reliance on foreign energy sources. Once again, the working class would bear the brunt of policies crafted by elites who never have to worry about their electricity bills.
