   Faith3 – Yes, it is not up to local elected officials to hand over tax payer money to private business to build.

   Does your no govt money for private business include green energy?

   @Ratboy

   You don’t always stick to fact and figures because I know for a fact that you copy and paste from Breitbart.com

   ‘I would like to know how many times a day m s n b c says the word romney in a negative context. Try holding your nose and turn over to msnbc and start counting you’ll be amazed. Don’t stay over there too long though because your stomach starts turning.”

   I really hope you don’t watch Fox News because if you say that, AND watch Fox News and don’t think they do the exact same thing towards Obama then you need to open your little eyes. Just watch The Five…if that doesn’t change your mind, then you are way beyond hope and Fox News is the perfect place for your eyes and ears.

   Faith3 – Any EPA rule for existing plants has not been released yet so we can speculate all we like.

   —————————————–

   Wrong! How many more sources you want?

   A pair of clean air rules enacted by the Environmental Protection Agency over the past year tightens limits on power-plant emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, and place new limits on mercury, a poison found in coal.

   In what could be an even bigger environmental blow to coal, the EPA in March issued guidelines that could limit greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants as early as 2013.

   Read more here.

   I think Texas recently won in court. Not sure if it has do with whats below.

   A major Texas-based power company said Monday it will close two coal-fired power units in the state and lay off 500 workers in order to comply with an Environmental Protection Agency air pollution regulation.

   The company, Dallas-based Luminant, also filed a lawsuit aimed at overturning the regulation in the state and pushing back a deadline to comply with the new rules.

   Hill-com

   Specifically, under the Obama administration, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has inflicted a crippling blow to the coal industry with its new regulations on greenhouse-gas emissions. But the regulations are not only precipitating a rise in energy prices, they are also causing a mass exodus of jobs — particularly in several election battleground states, including Michigan, Colorado, and Ohio.

   Why the massive price increases? Andy Ott from PJM stated the obvious: “Capacity prices were higher than last year’s because of retirements of existing coal-fired generation resulting largely from environmental regulations which go into effect in 2015.” Northern Ohio is suffering from more forced coal-plant retirements than the rest of the region, hence the even higher price.

   foxnews-com

   The PJM auction established capacity prices for 2015-2016, the first year electric generators will be required to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s costly Utility Maximum Achievable Control Technology (also known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS)) rule.

   The auction set capacity prices at $136/MW across the PJM footprint, which includes the Mid-Atlantic region and parts of the Midwest, the committee noted. This price is eight times higher than the $16/MW price that was set for 2012-2013, it added.

   “As explained by PJM, the ‘auction was impacted by an unprecedented amount of planned generation retirements (more than 14,000 MW) driven largely by environmental regulations, which drove prices higher than last year’s auction.’”

   generationhub-com

   The plants FirstEnergy plans to retire total just 2,689 MWs while the entire footprint of PJM is expected to see some 14,000 MWs retire due to EPA’s Mercury & Air Toxics Standard and the state of New Jersey’s High Electricity Demand Day Rule. Both of those regulations are set to kick in just before the 2015/2016 delivery year starts on June 1, 2015.

   @Ratboy…”So register independents would automaticly be counted as democrats??????????? Maybe all 999 are democrats and the independents are in the republican group.”

   -No!!!…didn’t you read what I wrote? For you to assume that the remainder 999 were all registered Democrats and that they didn’t poll registered Independents is asinine.

   By the way, this very same polling group had Romney ahead by 6 points one month ago but the shift (10 pt swing) happened after President Obama’s directive on deportation of immigrant children.

   Ed Schultz Loves Fast and Furious Scandal Because ‘It Keeps the Focus Off the Economy’

   Rock ‘em sock ‘em liberal Ed Schultz continues doing his darndest to unintentionally help conservatives by the simple act of opening his mouth and letting words spill out.

   On his radio show yesterday, Schultz finally caught up with the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal that’s been brewing for 18 months since the murder of border agent Brian Terry (audio clip after page break).

   Unlike other leftists in the media intent on keeping their distance from Fast and Furious as if from a stench, the ever-optimistic Schultz sees a silver lining to the fatally flawed program (audio) –

   It always takes Americans a couple of days to get all the facts in before they render judgment on exactly just how bogus something is or is not. And I think we’re about there on this Eric Holder situation, the attorney general. Now Marco Rubio is the Florida senator saying that, you know, I think he ought to resign. This is all about getting the president. You’ve got the right-wing jugheads out there and about, trying to tell the head-shaking crowd that really, President Obama is at the center of all of this. He is the one.

   He’s the, look, I say keep talking about it. This is what the right wing ought to do. Just keep on talk-, because you know what? It keeps the focus off the economy

    @Ratboy

    My whole point is what people are registered as makes no difference. What’s important is what they identify themselves as. Thses are the unweighted frequency totals for that poll…which you can find if you scroll down to the bottom of their site and select demographic summary. There’s no spin about that…just the facts Ma’am.

    PARTY IDENTIFICATION – Generally speaking, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent, or what?

    Republican = 555
    Democrat = 490
    Independent = 580
    Other/DK/NA = 72

    Total = 1697

    Faith3 – Having strings attached may be something Obama did which may make some economic sense but that is not what is being advocated by supply side thinkers. The theory goes if you supply it, demand will natually come.

    ————————————

    Not just Nobama. All Prez’s & congress’s have strings attached to tax incentives. I’ve never hear of a tax incentive to just “sit on the money.”

    Steve Perry I don’t think that your numbers add up in your poll party identification
    PARTY IDENTIFICATION
    Republican——29%——555
    Democrat——–32——-490
    Independent—–35——-580
    Other/DK/NA—–5——–72

    =========================

    These aren’t his numbers. He copied them from Quinnipiac’s website. Ratboy claims to have copied his information from the exact same website although I’m having trouble finding it.

    Last I checked Bieber is a young pop singer and O”Reilly is a television news host. Stark difference. Heck, the NBA Finals beat both of these knuckleheads.
