Always a good day to cut the red tape.
Washington Examiner (7/13/25) opinion: "The Environmental Protection Agency’s recent announcement that it is repealing its carbon rule is an important step in preserving our nation’s access to reliable and affordable electricity. People are paying more for electricity this year, and those higher prices may soon be coupled with less reliable service. New data from the Labor Department finds that electricity prices jumped 4.5% in just the past year, with further spikes expected this summer. Meanwhile, in some parts of the country, consumers began their summer coping with rolling blackouts brought on by surging demand for power. One of the drivers of these disruptions in the electricity market has been the EPA’s regulatory overreach under the Biden administration. This has been the case with its carbon rule, which would have shut down the nation’s fleet of coal power plants despite warnings from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation that more than half of the United States is at risk for electricity shortages over the next five years."
