Racism, Cronyism, Nepotism at the EPA?

"New Mexico Utility Cites $1 Billion Cost of EPA Plan to Cut Coal Emissions"

The EPA has proposed a plan requiring the installation of selective catalytic reduction as the “best available retrofit technology” to reduce certain emissions at the San Juan plant. The federal Clean Air Act’s Regional Haze Program targets emissions from what the EPA says are “some of the oldest pollution sources in the country.” According to an announcement by the agency, the San Juan plant was built more than 30 years ago and “has not yet updated its pollution control technology to meet current air quality goals.” The EPA decision calls for the emissions equipment to be installed within three years.

The cynical part within thinks this will benefit foreign companies, foreign workers, Al Gore, those with political connections, while ignore American solutions.

The utility company said in a news release that its initial analysis indicates the emissions plan is “far more aggressive” than a recent EPA recommendation for the coal-fired Four Corners power plant, which is on Navajo Nation land near the San Juan plant. The agency recommends selective catalytic reduction for both plants, but the company said the allowed emission level for nitrogen oxides would be significantly lower at San Juan than at Four Corners. In addition, PNM said, the EPA proposed to give Four Corners five years to comply, while it proposes three years for San Juan.

Racism?  A move to pick winners and losers?  Destroy non-Navajo families with higher rates?
