Bring on Cap and Trade, I really mean it. I want to see these poor Americans that bought into Obama's lie about raising taxes on only the rich paying $1000/month to heat their homes in the winter. Hope and Change? Try choosing between Freezing or Starving. I hope this woman is first:

Congratulations, you finally found something worthy of posting and to have a conversation about!
"The EPA found that the permitting process was issued prematurely, before complete analysis could be conducted of hazardous air emissions like mercury, or the impact of the facility on endangered species, or the impact on soil, vegetation, and visibility in the region. The permit also didn't adequately examine particulate matter.
Also, in the review of "best available technologies," developers of the project didn't include a process called integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), the EPA said. Using IGCC technology–which turns the coal into gas before burning it–would make Desert Rock better able to control air pollution."
Now they might have cut corners but it sounds more like they just didn't want a coal plant. Why was the AG of New Mexico against it? I have a feeling there is more to the story left out.
Another lawmaker wants to tax people by the mile they drive:
