for more than a year, the epa gathered information about the watershed. then, in may 2012, their draft assessment was published. it came down hard on the pebble project, detailing the many risks involved, including a major loss of fish habitat, the high probability of a damaging pipeline break, the catastrophic consequences of tailings dam failures, and the never-ending threat of acid mine drainage. the findings are significant in that the epa can unilaterally stop the mine. >> it's outrageous that somebody would stop a project before a project proponent even had a chance to make the plans public. i don't think that's the kind of reputation our country wants to start to get if we want to start to have any kind of investment in large projects. so i think it would set a terrible precedent. >> the future of the pebble mine project took center stage in anchorage tonight. >> about 400 people showed up... >> narrator: in anchorage, many alaskans reacted angrily to the epa's involvement. when the agency called for a series of public hearings to discuss their dra

what does sackett say of the epa? we've heard a lot of the greenhouse gas regulation with mountaintop mining, with the clean water act and with all sorts of environmental issues where the agency seems to have a very ambitious understanding of its own authority and seems to be rather indifferent to how it is received either in the media or how it is received by those that it regulates. sackett - shows that the agency's speak for the puerto rico can sometimes come back to haunt before. the supreme court granted the review the epa had taken a hard line in the litigation and have shown them know quarter. and i think fully expecting that they would never be able to get beyond the ninth circuit. and yet, they were and they successfully defeated the epa. and one hopes there for one of them on legal effects, the beneficial effect of the decision would be that the epa might take a bit more modest understanding of its own authority, and particularly a more sensible approach to its enforcement powers. when one thinks about the f

many utility feel that epa under obama is determined to shut down all coal plant. even as lives aren't used up and there are billions upon billions to minimize pollution. these execs point out that epa is moving the goalpost further and further and further away. but they will tell you, that's impossible about rise the price of electricity dramatically through rate payers. after years of being in periodic short supply, but none ever as low as coal, now switched price in places. now gas is cheaper which pleases the ray payers and it is cleaner, which pleases the epa. he will likely not see nicole plants, which means no secular growth to rails, and no giant rebound in stocks at all. now, what does that say to me? it suggests that norfolk southern hasn't gone down enough yet aep the fact that it yields 3% instead of say 4 means don't buy, don't buy. oh, but how about bed bath and beyond. no one want to say same stores accelerate. the companies integrating would be acquisition for next year. we know from the housing start numbers we just got yesterday that housing is on
