    1. Yes, breathing the deadly particulates emitted from coal-burning power plants and endangering the health and lives of millions is perfectly acceptable.

    2. Texas has poor power reliability because of deregulation and their “free market” power grid (which is more expensive and less reliable). California has issues because PG&E has failed to property protect its infrastructure from heat and wildfires. Neither of them have anything to do with grid capacity. Texas added 3% capacity to its grid in 2022-2023 and California added 3.4% in the same period.

      Don’t make stuff up.

  1. The most likely outcome of all of this is the end of the EPA. Rather than continue slow and steady progress, they propose things like this, which will lead the next administration to do something more drastic the other way. Good job, idiots.
