The EPA’s new regulations have forced American Electric Power to shut down five coal-fired power plants.
For some reason, I’m reminded of an incident a few years ago in which there was a major blackout in the northeast. Democrats tried to pin blame for the blackout on President Bush, and proposed that we raise taxes on the top 1% to invest in power infrastructure. (That top 1% tax hike was their top talking point at the time. They proposed spending that hypothetical revenue on dozens of different things, depending on the topic of the day.)
No one took them seriously, and this is a big part of why. Democrats aren’t for building power infrastructure, they are for dismantling it.
