The Obama administration's "Clean Power Plan," the vast new scheme of regulations on power plants the EPA unveiled this Monday, is like every form of central planning that came before it. It is a monument to the faith that government edicts can overturn the laws of economics—and the laws of physics. The plan is more than just a set of burdensome new regulations. It is a vision for a new national electrical power system heavily dependent on "renewable energy" sources that will supposedly prevent global warming. But this vision is deeply unscientific and physically impossible to achieve. The plan relies on three big absurdities.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_windfarm_wikipedia.jpg
