Thanks for reading! And for commenting! I agree, I think it is perfect timing for something great to come of this.

Thanks for reporting on this case. The EAB decision gives the Obama Administration a clean slate to decide how to address carbon dioxide emissions from new and modified coal-fired power plants. It does not, however, mandate best available control technology for CO2 emissions. The EAB rejected the EPA's reasoning for not requiring CO2 emissions limits, and told the agency to go back to the drawing board. As a practical matter, this means the the next administration will decide the issue for the nearly 100 proposed coal plants that do not yet have final permits.

As long as the U.S. government is going to license and tax small nuclear plants for every neighborhood, it makes good sense for them to tax coal burning power plants out of existence! The spent nuclear fuel from the many small plants cn be used to fuel bigger ones! a win – win so far? but what to do with the spent fuel from the big plutonium plants? I am certain that many very smart scientists from China will find the answer,and it will involve a higher chemistry than ours and reuse as fuel, the potential is their, this is a miracle fuel, and along with wind, solar, wafve and geothermal fuels the carcinogenic benzine molecule containing petroleum oils we are now addicted to will be elimi8nated along with any notion the OPEC boys might have had in using the U.S. Armies for world domination! When the U.S.A. grows up and learns to use coal safely as a fuel we will use it too, but for now, it is as dangerous to us as oil. By concentrating on using Compressed Natural Gas and plug ins for our personal transportation needs, and small local nuclear plants with low transmission losses and costs we can break into the 21st century as leaders in innovation a design. We must shed our 1930's based automotive technologies for carbon fiber, polymer composite hybrid plug in vehicles of practical size and use the surplus electricity from local nuclear plants to charge their batteries. Coal has become the fuel for future development!
