Nutters don't need your excuses

And by the likes of you, Tim, who seem to think it’s jolly jape to stick up for the sort of cowards and bullies who practice Taliban-style terror campaigns against scientists who are just doing their jobs.

Its delay is a tacit admission that the regulations pose political, economic and technical challenges that cannot be addressed on the aggressive timetable that the agency set for itself early in the Obama administration.
...
Scott Segal, a utility industry lobbyist in Washington, said the agency’s caution signaled an understanding that the new rule would have a profound effect on the price, supply and reliability of electricity by forcing modifications to, or the shutdown of, dozens of older power plants. He said the agency had several other major rules pending that would affect power plant operators.
