On Sunday, John Hinderaker at Power Line Blog<\/a> posted an article about the impact of the climate-change regulations the Biden administration is placing on Americans.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Liberals denounce Donald Trump as a would-be tyrant, but the fact is that he ruled less by executive order than any other recent president. It is Joe Biden who has discarded the Constitution and imposed a blizzard of illegal or probably-illegal regulations on the rest of us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lately, they have been coming so furiously that it is hard to keep up with them. The\u00a0Wall Street Journal\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0editorial board caught up with just one set, relating to power plants. The intent of the regulations is to set our economy and our material well-being back by as much as a century:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Thursday the Environmental Protection Agency proposed its latest doozy\u2014rules that will effectively force coal plants to shut down while banning new natural-gas plants.<\/strong>
\n***<\/strong>
\nBarack Obama\u2019s regulation spurred a wave of coal plant closures. Now President Biden is trying to finish the job by tightening mercury, wastewater and ash disposal standards. EPA is also replacing the Obama Clean Power Plan that the Supreme Court struck down with a rule requiring that coal plants and new gas-fired plants adopt costly and unproven carbon-capture technology by 2032.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is interesting that the Biden administration is planning to severely limit the production of electricity while at the same time encouraging Americans to buy electric cars. If the grid will not be able to keep up with normal expected growth, how will it be able to keep up with the additional demand placed on it by electric cars?<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s purpose is not to benefit the climate, it is to benefit the vast \u201cgreen\u201d grift that is one of the Democratic Party\u2019s main constituencies. The greens, but also Communist China. China controls the market for solar panels and wind turbines, and it also controls the raw materials that are necessary to produce solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles and the hypothetical batteries that are the magical solution to the fact that weather-dependent sources of energy can never fuel an economy\u2013a primitive economy, let alone a modern one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is Biden destroying our electrical grid and dragging the United States back into the 19th century, to the immense benefit of the Chinese Communist Party? Occam\u2019s Razor suggests that he is doing it on purpose. Even Joe Biden isn\u2019t dumb enough to fail to understand where these policies are leading. I don\u2019t know whether it is sheer, malicious anti-Americanism, or whether the millions of dollars that Biden and his family have gotten from China have made him the Manchurian Candidate. But, one way or another, the disastrous consequences of the Biden administration\u2019s energy policies are obvious to anyone who pays attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n
