BLACK CHAMBER: MINORITY, LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS HURT BY EPA REGULATIONS:
Harry Alford, the president and chief executive officer of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, believes the EPA’s Clean Power Plan, designed to stop coal-fired power plants from spewing carbon into the atmosphere, will do nothing but hurt blacks and Hispanics.
And for the life of him, Alford can’t figure out why the Obama administration doesn’t realize this. Or maybe, Alford said, they have.
“EPA’s apparent indifference to the plight of low-income and minority households is inexcusable,” said Alford. “We should pursue policies that expand opportunity for the less fortunate, not ones that further disadvantage them. The only solution is for EPA to withdraw its rule.”
Why would either the EPA or low-income and minority households who keep monolithically voting against their own best interests start to change now?
As for as the latter group, where else would they go?
