The only people I saw in support of the changes were power industry groups. I maintain that this is more policy out of the White House that places the desires of big business above those of the public at large.
The most ironic part is that if it weren't for Ralph Nader, we'd have a Dem prez, and this would not be happening.

People fully knew this would limit new projects on old factories, to get around it the factory owners would simply stop upgrading/installing new equipment. But over time they'd get to the point where they'd simply *have* to build more, the point where the cost of building new facilities was justified by demand.
Then Bush came along and simply wiped the rules. Now the owners are sighing relief. Oh, joy.
