Title: Supreme Court is Trying to do Right for Once
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Nicolas Loris
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
New guest Nicolas Loris is an economy expert on energy and
environment, climate change, energy policy, coal, oil, and natural gas,
renewable energy with the
Heritage
Foundation. Nicolas is here today to discuss the recent
decision from the Supreme Court concerning the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. While
they did not come to a final decision yet, they have put a temporary halt to
Obama’s EPA and their desire to take over control of the county’s electric
system.
Nicolas firmly believes that each individual state should have total control
over how to best meet the people’s energy needs. In regards to the current
system, he says: “The laws of supply and demand for energy work pretty well.”
However, the Clean Power Plan would overhaul each state’s energy economy. The
same goes for the affordability of the various energy forms. States know best!
Listen in as Nicolas explains why.
“It’s not just a war on coal; it’s a war on families and businesses,”
Nicolas Loris boldly states. And he is exactly right! As with most other schemes
by the EPA, the Clean Power Plan is an attempt to bankrupt the coal industry.
After all, back in 2008, Obama stated that he would do just that if elected to
the Presidency. He only has a few short months left to complete this dream of
his and he is putting the hammer to the nail.
Nicolas goes on to discuss how the EPA is becoming more and more bold in their
attempts to take control of our lives. They do not care about the family. They
do not care about the small business. They see dollar signs and will do
everything they can to increase that number. “This has nothing to do with
regulating the point source of emission which is the power plant. It’s about
restructuring America’s energy sector. And that’s problematic,” Nicolas
warns.
