From the article:
"The Obama administration estimated that it would cost the electric utility industry an estimated $9.6 billion a year to install that mercury control technology, making it the most expensive clean air regulation ever put forth by the federal government. It found that reducing mercury brings up to $6 million annually in health benefits — a high number, but not as high as the cost to industry. However, it further justified the regulation by citing an additional $80 billion in health benefits from the additional reduction in soot and nitrogen oxide that occur as a side effect of controlling mercury.
The new proposal directs the E.P.A. to no longer take into account those “co-benefits” when considering the economic impact of a regulation.
If you can't find a citation with google, then you're an asshole.
Actually, the person making outrageous allegations that doesn't provide a citation is the asshole.
If it were so simple, why didn't you include the cite in the first place?
Because it's useful information for some people, like myself. I've been looking at this for months and am still not sure what to buy, but the answers here helped.
I can't stand people who insult others for asking a question. If you know everything, just shut up, and let others learn.
Actually, I think that we won the Vietnam War. I was convinced of this when the Prime Minister rang the bell at the NYSE .
I also think that other people would agree.
"One thing Sheikh Sattar keeps saying is he wants al-Anbar to be like Germany and Japan and South Korea were after their respective wars, with a long-term American presence helping... put them back together," MacFarland said. "The negative example he cites is Vietnam. He says, yeah, so, Vietnam beat the Americans, and what did it get them? You know, 30 years later, they're still living in poverty."
People have been predicting that we'll run out of this or that with catastrophic results for centuries, most famously Malthus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthus>.
Personally, I'm with Julian Simon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Lincoln_Simon> on this. If we run out, we'll find something else. Higher oil prices give a bigger incentive for someone to find a substitute.

You should say "you can't afford a house." and stop. This idea of being a victim of your choice to buy something you can't afford is juvenile.
