Opinions and arguments against the Clean Power Plan all stick to economics, they fail to include any opinion on whether the rule will meet it’s goals.A case in point is an opinion piece in the Durham Herald Sun, Stop the EPA’s war on North Carolina. The article stresses the potential economic damage to the state from the proposed rule.  It never mentions the doubtful benefits from the rule:  no measurable decrease in global temperatures and no evidence that the health benefits will be realized.  In fact, the air pollution data and asthma incidence data show no correlation.  People might support something that saves the planet and lives.  How much would they be willing to pay for something that does neither of these?  We now have McCarthy saying this monstrosity is a jobs plan and ignoring the supposed benefits.

Why not attack the plan on it’s merits?
