AEP — a major coal-burning utility — last week said that EPA rules for air toxics, ozone-forming pollutants and other regulations will prompt closure of five coal-fired power plants and require costly changes at others, create a direct loss of 600 jobs and significantly boost power costs for businesses. Obama fulfilling his promise. She noted, for instance, that new standards for power plant emissions of mercury and other air toxics proposed in March will prevent an estimated 17,000 premature deaths, 120,000 cases of childhood asthma and 850,000 days of missed work due to illnesses Talk about scare tactics. How many people will die or suffer extreme hardship because of those five plants shutting down? I could make up some numbers just like Lisa Jackson. The only difference is that mine would actually have some meaning.
