Supporters of the NOPR (see below) have cited a single study by IHS Markit, which was funded in part by coal and nuclear interests and retrofitted to support their conclusions. The aforementioned Alison Silverstein takes it apart piece by piece, concluding that it contains “so many factual, logical, and methodological flaws that it is wholly unsuitable to inform serious public policy.”

The Center for Policy Integrity, in its comments to FERC, has an even more detailed dismantling of the study and its “unreasonable assumptions, internal contradictions, and flawed methodology,” if you’re a sucker for punishment.

As for Rick Perry, what does he have to say about the massive costs his proposal would impose on electricity customers?

"I think you take costs into account,” he said, testifying before a House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee, “but what's the cost of freedom?"

Makes you think.

Then there's NYT

Under Trump, E.P.A. Has Slowed Actions Against Polluters, and Put Limits on Enforcement Officers

[. . .]

Confidential internal E.P.A. documents show that the enforcement slowdown coincides with major policy changes ordered by Mr. Pruitt’s team after pleas from oil and gas industry executives.

The documents, which were reviewed by The Times, indicate that E.P.A. enforcement officers across the country no longer have the authority to order certain air and water pollution tests, known as requests for information, without receiving permission from Washington. The tests are essential to building a case against polluters, the equivalent of the radar gun for state highway troopers.

Seems that the looting is now so overt that the bandits don't even bother with masks. To whom does one mention(??):
Here is evidence that Intent to Cause Harm is the policy of this Administration, so Sic 'Em.

Who, indeed.
