The head of the Texas Public Utility Commission expressed concern Friday that a new federal air quality rule, set to take effect Jan. 1, will cause disruptions in electric service.
If implementation of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule is not delayed, “I have no doubt in my mind that this rule will result in reliability issues and rolling outages in Texas,” Donna Nelson said at the start of the commission’s meeting.
The rule, issued in early July by the Environmental Protection Agency, would require substantial reductions in emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide at power plants in 27 states.
The EPA says the rule will save and prolong lives by reducing harmful smog and soot pollution. Gina McCarthy, an EPA assistant administrator, said
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Murder people today to save some possible lives in the unknown future.
Killing people in order to save them. The mark of a sick death cult.
Simple solution is to not follow the rules made by the EPA!
This from the same morons that call CO2 carbon, and both pollution.
And in the UK the politicians are just too cowardly to object publicly. One even said to me that he agreed with the sceptics but it was not politically expedient to say anything.
If being unemployed and having nothing is a green job, then this administration has created lots of green jobs.
Things are going to start snowballing. This kind of energy throttling isn’t sustainable.
Mitt Romney supports the “Hoax of Mann-made global warming” therefore if elected he would keep the current EPA job killing rules and regulations. Do we need Romney or Obama?
