Here is an example of EPA overreach in Hawaii.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposes to cap emissions at three Hawaii Island electrical plants to improve visibility at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, even as Kilauea continues to be the largest contributor to haze on the island.
Hawaii Electric Light Co.’s 575 pounds per day of emissions is a scant 0.04 percent of the 661 tons of sulfur dioxide per day Kilauea Volcano was emitting last week. But the EPA’s Hawaii Regional Haze Implementation Plan is supposed to be a long-term plan to clear the air by 2064, when Kilauea may no longer be erupting, said Kerry Drake, associate director of the Air Division at EPA’s Region 9 office in San Francisco. Measurable progress must be shown by 2018, under the plan.
I am all for clean air but this borders on ridiculous and should be stopped.
