Biden wants to put our lights out.

Slow Joe Biden wants to put our lights out.  He wants his Environmental Pollution Agency to require that fuel burning electric power plants reduce their emission by 95%.  Wow. That is like ordering all our power plants to shut down.  It cannot be done.

Consider a coal plant.  Let’s burn a ton of coal to make steam to turn the electric generators.  Coal is pretty much pure carbon.  The ton of coal burns by combining with two oxygen atoms to each carbon atom.  This gives 3.6 tons of carbon dioxide up the stack for every ton of coal burned.  There is nothing you can do to improve this.

Gas fired plants are a little bit different, but the end result is about the same.  

 

In New Hampshire we ought to have a New Hampshire bureau that sets reasonable performance standards for electric plants and inspects New Hampshire plants for compliance with New Hampshire standards.  Out of state trouble makers who cause trouble for our electric generators are sabotaging our electric supply and should be thrown in jail.
