In today’s edition of The Heartland Daily Podcast, H. Sterling Burnett, managing editor of Environment & Climate News speaks with Dan Kish. Kish is the vice-president of policy at the Institute for Energy Research (IER). Kish joins Burnett to discuss the high economic costs and the unmeasurable environmental benefits of President Obama’s new Clean Power Plan.
The plan, an effort to cut carbon emissions by 32% of 2005 levels by 2030, will have very burdensome regulations. Kish points out that the poor, and small businesses will be hit hardest under the plan since they can least afford the higher energy costs that will result from the plan.
