Been given one year, thats a very real problem. But there are real costs being expended by the states and also i believe this administration is not interested whether the rule is finalized so long as the marketplace moves away from them. If coal fired power plants have to be retired quicker than baseline, then theyre going to accomplish the goal, even if this regulation never is upheld in courts.

I think it is important for us to fin
Shuddering coal generation in the state of oklahoma. Its a concern 3r5k9ically and a concern legally. Looking at it as a nonattorney, you look at the tenth amendment which refers to reserving power to the states do you think this is consist went the tenth amendment . Well, i think this case and i would add this to the comments earlier from a fellow panelist, i dont think its terribly novel for us to have a dispute or a case about statutory construction. You know, i indicated that it is a Traditional Police power to regulate Power Generation and for the federal government to intervene or to invade that, it has to be the statute has to be explicit and clear and unambiguous, and i think by virtue of our discussion today, its demonstrative that that is not the case. So, senator i think its less about the tenth amendment and less about states rights under the tenth amendment and more about statutory construction and whether the epa possesses the authority that you gave it to regulate in thi
Nowadays the Vice President does not do that unless his vote is needed to break a tie. Truman never learned anything from zero fdr or his staff. It was a transition zero knowledge that this not happen anymore. Got a phone call from the white house. It to the phone right away. I pick up the phone. At the other and they said to the white house as soon as you can. He grabbed his hat. Heout. He dashed out. They had a car for him. He went to the white house.

President obama spoke with reporters today. This is his first News Conference since early this year. Good afternoon, everybody. Please have a seat. I hear you have some questions for me. But let me
Forward, how we heal this country back together as americans and stop the class warfare, which is part of this fiscal cliff, class warfare, stop ethnic warfare, stop the gender warfare, stop the Sexual Orientation warfare. Its all divided, driven by the president to pit people against each other, because he calinglates that he gets a political gain because he calculates he gets a political gain. History will hold him accountable for that. We have time for one more. This gentleman has been waiting patiently here. Over the long haul, in the spending debate, is paul ryans budget plan still kind of the starting point for you guys, or will this discussion right now change that . I mean, remember, even that questions whether this will solve this problem. We at least got to get to pauls plan. Many of us supported the republican study budget, which would even we felt it made even more sense, because it got to balance in a much shorter amount of time, so i think thats at a minimum where we need
Breakdown of the cost increase. Note that the hard cost here is based on a rough order magnitude estimate provided by our cmt. I think whats very important to realize too is that these numbers of course are very big. But to only well to 15 of these additional costs are actual premium cost that could have been avoided would we have found fees fishures during the design phase. So if we knew about it, 85 of those costs would have actually been in our project budget originally. Why didnt we know about it . What didnt we do that should have been done .
