American Journal: Biden Kicks Off Great Reset Via War On Coal Power

News

Featuring Stephen Moore Of Freedom Works On The Biden Administration's War On Coal & Natural Gas by Kevin McCullough Radio

University. His most recent book is: “THE COAL TRAP:  How West Virginia Was Left Behind in the Clean Energy Revolution.” He highlights how political and business leaders have been unable to move beyond the “coal trap” of West Virginia's heritage, and how it harmed the state's citizens and dimmed their future prospects through the obstinate reliance on an unsustainable and outmoded resource: coal. The state experienced a “Lost Decade” because West Virginia leaders doubled down on fossil fuels and ignored the clean energy technology. In reality, there is not a “War on Coal” because market forces and consumer demand dictated the outcome. President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act provided assistance to West Virginia through tax credits and other energy-saving initiatives.

The Trump Administration has blamed the decline in America’s coal industry on a regulatory “war on coal.” Yet investor reaction to regulatory announcements doesn’t support that view. --- The U.S. coal industry has declined dramatically over the past decade, with output from the nation’s coal mines falling 35% from their peak. Today, coal-fired power plants generate just over a quarter of the nation’s electricity and have been surpassed by natural gas plants as the top source for electric power. A variety of narratives have been put forth to explain coal’s decline. None has been more politically charged than the “war on coal” narrative, advanced by the Trump Administration, that places blame on a set of Obama-era federal policies to reduce the environmental impact of coal.Guests Cary Coglianese, director of the Penn Program on Regulation and Dan Walters, Assistant Professor of Law at Penn State University, discuss new research that takes a close look at the impact of federal environmental regulation on the coal industry. The research focuses on the reaction of investors to major regulatory announcements, and the extent to which federal energy and environmental policies have colored investors’ view of the future viability of the coal industry. Coglianese and Walter's report, Whither the Regulatory War on Coal? Scapegoats, Saviors and Stock Market Reactions, is available on the website of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy.Cary Coglianese is director of the Penn Program on Regulation at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Dan Walters is an Assistant Professor of Law at Penn State University whose work focuses on energy and environmental law. Previously Dan was a Regulation Fellow at the Penn Program on Regulation.Related Content Betting on Climate Solutions: Why We Should Spread Our Chips https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/paper/betting-climate-solutionsTeeming with Carbon Taxes https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/blog/2019/08/12/teeming-carbon-taxesAs Clean Energy Surpasses Coal, U.S. Energy Transition Locks Into Place https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/blog/2019/07/08/clean-energy-surpasses-coal-us-energy-transition-locks-place

Coal was the engine of the Industrial Revolution and employed nearly 1.2 million people in Britain at its height. But the UK has gone more than 1,000 hours without using coal to generate electricity this year - the longest streak since Thomas Edison opened the country’s first coal power station in 1882. How did they do it? Our guest is Carolyn Beeler who covered this story for PRI's The World. 

Stan Dempsey, head of the Colorado Mining Association, recently declared the so-called “War On Coal” to be over. Was there ever a war, or just market forces? One of the leading thinkers on artificial intelligence, Heather Roff, will speak this week at CU Boulder -- after we speak with her. And, products that are made in Colorado, from beer cans to chemicals to satellites, could be caught up in the big international trade battles now underway.

Last June, comedian John Oliver devoted a long segment to the struggling coal industry on his HBO show Last Week Tonight. He turned his attention to Robert Murray, the CEO of Murray Energy, one of the most bombastic advocates of coal. And then Murray sued Oliver for defamation.That defamation lawsuit was thrown out by a judge last week. But the saga tells us a lot about Robert Murray, one of the most influential figures behind the Trump Administration's coal policies.In this week's episode, we'll discuss Murray's approach to promoting coal and silencing critics.Then, a look at some new documents from the Seminar Network, a group created by Charles and David Koch, claiming big wins on killing climate policy. The group is planning to spend up to $400 million on mid-term elections. We'll talk about how the Kochs killed America's climate conversation over the last decade.Finally, Trump is now claiming he saved the solar industry with tariffs. We discuss the truth.

Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt triumphantly declared that the war on coal is over in a speech earlier this week in Hazard, Kentucky. Mr. Pruitt announced his intention to repeal the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan to reduce carbon emissions, arguing the plan exceeded the administration's authority and "treated coal communities unfairly". John Coequyt, global climate policy director for the Sierra Club, strongly disagrees with Pruitt. Mr. Coequyt explains why the U.S. needs to keep the Clean Power Plan. Reed Galen, a Bush 43 alum and chief strategist for the Serve America movement, discusses whether a deal can be salvaged to save the Dreamers.

Last summer, WBEZ reporter Dan Weissmann traveled to West Frankfort, a small town in southern Illinois that briefly played host to a small battle in the so-called “war on coal.” With coal at the center of the climate change battle, some people from around West Frankfort pulled together an army of sorts to take up their part in that fight. Weissmann attended one of their rallies last June. With coal back in the news — in March President Trump issued an executive order to "end the war on coal" — WBEZ Presents revisits Weissmann’s 2016 report from coal country.

Journalist Peter Galuszka, author of Thunder on the Mountain, discusses the 2010 Upper Big Branch mine disaster, the war on coal, and future prospects for the energy industry and the world under President Trump.

The Brennan Center hosted an engaging discussion with Richard L. Revesz and Jack Lienke, authors of Struggling for Air: Power Plants and the "War on Coal." Their new book chronicles the Environmental Protection Agency's five-decade struggle to clean up the nation's dirtiest coal-fired power plants.

We are now living under the most corrupt and criminal regime (it is certainly not an administration) in United States history. We have had criminal and incompetent presidents before, but past history pales in comparison to the current Chicago street thug (aka "community organizer") presently occupying the White House. The apparently self-proclaimed Emperor of the United States and his family spare no expense to live the good life while everyone else suffers. Obama commits one impeachable offense after another, confident that there will be no move to impeach him. It is not just Obama. The entire cabinet is rotten to the core. Eric Holder is a domestic terrorist who armed drug cartels, and  blatantly commits perjury. Humanity hating "Science Czar" John Holdren advocates forced abortions and mass sterilization. Janet Napolitano's Homeland Security is buying billions of hollow point bullets and military weapons for use against the American people in order to implement Obama's civilian security force "just as powerful as the military." Ben "Helicopter" Bernanke is systematically destroying the dollar.  Tonight: George Zimmerman trial, Obama's war on coal, amnesty for illegal immigrants. Where will this end? What do you think?

Iran sanctions are signed into law, a gas pipeline gets fast tracked through a NYC park, the Buffett Rule is (sort of) passed, a "War on Coal" is not really waged, and more from this week in Congress... HR 1905: Iran Sanctions *Signed into law* Sanctions = Shut down trade in and out of Iran. People can’t get what they need, they get mad at their government, the government needs to do what we want them to do in order to make the sanctions go away and get their people to back off. What do we want them to do? Stop developing nuclear weapons (if they actually are – hasn’t been proven). Stop human rights abuses. Open their oil industry to the “free market” Exxon Mobil, BP and others were welcomed into Iraq after we took over the country History of Iran Pre 1951- Iran’s oil was owned by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, now known as BP. 1951- Iran nationalized their oil industry. 1953- CIA, with lots of help from the British, overthrew the democratically elected government, installing the Shah. Oil companies were allowed back in and helped themselves to 50% of the oil profits. 1979- Iranians overthrew the Shah (the dictator installed by the US) and installed the Islamic Republic, who were not US-approved and are still in power today. The Islamic Republic nationalized the banking system and imposed controls on imports and exports, reversing the Shah’s free trade policies. They also re-nationalized the oil industry. Current sanctions take aim at that nationalized oil company… Prohibits any country or company from: 1) Helping Iran develop their oil. 2) Helping Iran construct, maintain, or repair their refineries. 3) Helping Iran construct port facilities, railways, or roads that will be used to deliver their oil. Prevents shipping companies from transporting any oil products to or from Iran. Prevents insurance companies from insuring the National Iranian Oil Company or the National Iranian Tanker Company. Section 312: Orders a report in 45 days listing the reasons that the National Iranian Oil Company and the National Iranian Tanker Company are “agents” of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (their military). Turns the Iranian oil companies into military targets. Orders a report on whether sanctions on Iran’s natural gas could be applied as they are to oil. HR 3783: “Countering Iran in the Western Hemisphere Act” Gives the Secretary of State 180 days to create a report to address Iran’s “growing hostile presence and activity” in the Western Hemisphere. Report needs to include a plan “ensuring energy supplies from the Western Hemisphere that are free from the influence of any foreign government that would attempt to manipulate or disrupt global energy markets.” Report needs to describe the terrain, population, ports, airports, borders, media outlets, financial centers, foreign embassies, charities, religious and cultural centers, and income-generating activities in the Western Hemisphere utilized by Iran. Listed countries of concern are Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Argentina, and Brazil. Four of the countries on the list have already nationalized their oil: Venezuela Bolivia Ecuador Argentina (happening right now) The other 2 may be on the list because: Nicaragua – President Ortega was the President the Contras were trying to overthrow. Iran-Contra scandal is when Reagan’s CIA sold weapons to Iran and gave the money to the Contras… to beat President Ortega… who is President again. President Ortega has an alliance with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Brazil – just elected a friendly government but also has found huge amounts of offshore oil since 2007. They might have more than us. Passed by the House, now moves into the Senate. HR 4155: Military Training Sufficient for Federal Training and Certification *Signed into law* H.R. 4124: Veteran Work Experience in Medical Field Gives money to states to change their processes for licensing veterans with medical experience in combat. Money only given to states with a shortage in medical technicians $1 million over four years = $250,000 per year = $5,000 per year per state. Passed the House, moves into the Senate. H.R. 5948: Veterans Fiduciary Reform & Honoring Noble Service Act Establishes rules for dividing the assets of dead soldiers both with and without a known next of kin. Let’s the government provide caskets and urns for dead soldiers who don’t have family to pay for them. Gives Bush Wars veterans a spot for remembrance at Arlington National Cemetery. Passed the House, moves into the Senate. H.R. 2606: Gas Pipeline Through NYC Recreation Area [caption id="attachment_36" align="aligncenter" width="625"] The proposed Rockaway natural gas pipeline (Source: Williams)[/caption] Written for the Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company (Transco). Tells the Secretary of Interior that he can feel free to give them a permit good for 10 years. Passed the Senate; it's on it’s way to President’s desk.* *Whoopsie: the bill actually went back to the House. (11/13/2012) H.R. 6410: “Buffett Rule Act of 2012" Buffett Rule = rich people should pay a tax rate at least as high as their secretaries. The name of the bill is a trick; the bill adds a donation box to tax return forms. It doesn’t change tax rates at all. Passed the House, moves into the Senate. HR 2903: FEMA Reauthorization No increase in funding through 2014. Can sell “extra” FEMA trailers to states. Provides money to modernize the “public alert and warning system” We must conduct tests every 3 years. Communications industry will not be forced to participate. Passed House, moves into the Senate. H.R. 5912: No Public Money for Party Conventions Eliminates all public funding of political conventions, effective next year (2013). D’s and R’s each got $18 million this year. Currently, only D’s and R’s get public money. No other political parties are eligible. Will result in more private control over political parties. Passed the House, moves into the Senate. H.R. 3409: “Coal Miner Employment & Domestic Energy Infrastructure Protection Act” Package of 5 bills; 4 out of the 5 bills in this package have already passed the House in 2011-2012 but failed in the Senate. TITLE I: Secretary of the Interior can’t issue any new regulations between now and 2014 that would: “Adversely impact employment in coal mines in the United States”. Reduce the amount of money the government (Federal or State) receives from coal mining. Reduce the amount of coal available for US use or for exporting for profit. Protect any land from coal mining. Regulate privately-owned coal. TITLE II: No Greenhouse Gas Regulation Under the Clean Air Act “The [EPA] Administrator may not, under this Act, promulgate any regulation concerning, take action relating to, or take into consideration the emission of a greenhouse gas to address climate change” Repeals the mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions Prevents states (like California) from adopting mileage standards that are stricter than the Federal standards TITLE III: Eliminates regulations for the benefit of businesses. Creates a committee, headed by the Secretary of Commerce, that will analyze how environmental regulations affect business. Eliminates some air quality rules for industrial equipment, makes the EPA start over on them, and prevents them from taking effect in under 6 years When making the regulations, the EPA must consider costs to companies and must choose the option that is “least burdensome” to those companies TITLE IV: Gives states control of regulating coal ash. Companies found in violation of regulations will have 8-10 years to make those changes. The deadline can be extended. TITLE V: EPA must analyze the impact of their regulations on “employment levels and economic activity, including estimated job losses and decreased economic activity” Numbers will be rigged “Any offsetting job gains that result from the hypothetical creation of new jobs through new technologies or government employment may not be used in the job loss calculation." “Any offsetting economic activity that results from the hypothetical creation of new economic activity through new technologies or government employment may not be used in the economic activity calculation.” Prevents EPA from over-riding water quality standards of the states. Also, prevents EPA from over-riding water quality standards of the states. McKinley Amendment prohibits the EPA from retroactively invalidating permits after they have been issued. Passed the House, moves into the Senate (where its failure is guaranteed). Vacation Time Congress returned from their 5 week summer vacation last Monday, September 10th. On Friday, September 21st, they left for their 7 week election vacation. They will return to work on Tuesday, November 13th.
