[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 866096, member: 12952"] White House, EPA ignore Small Business Admin’s report that new coal regulations will kill jobs, economy[/h]One Southern Indiana Chamber of Commerce vice president, Tonya Fischer, told The Daily Caller the entire state of Indiana would be “devastated” by these regulations. “We are definitely in opposition to [the MACT regulations] because it would be devastating for the state of Indiana.” She adds that local businesses, which are struggling with the tough economy already, would be forced to pick up the extra energy production costs Obama’s EPA is pushing. “We get 95 percent of our electricity from coal.” “The cost to convert those facilities would be passed on to the small business owners, or basically shut them [the coal energy producing facilities] down altogether,” Fischer said. “It would become cost-prohibitive for them [local businesses] to continue paying their electricity bills.” If the EPA regulations aren’t halted, Fischer expects unemployment numbers in Indiana to skyrocket. “This has got to affect tens of thousands of important]jobs in the area because, not only would you lose the employees from the coal facilities, the plants themselves would become more streamlined so you’d lose jobs there and, of course, the small and local businesses.” [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] Read more: [url]http://dailycaller.com/2011/08/11/white-house-epa-ignore-small-business-admins-report-that-new-coal-regulations-will-kill-jobs-economy/#ixzz1UlkcEBD1[/url] [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
