Wynn Resorts (WYNN) CEO Steve Wynn was speaking on a company conference call when he unleashed on President Obama, ranting about what Wynn sees as anti-business, socialist policies that are frightening companies as well as customers:
"…I’m saying it bluntly. That this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business and progress and job creation in my lifetime. And I can prove it. And I could spend the next three hours giving you examples of all of us in this marketplace that are frightened to death about all the new regulations, our healthcare costs escalate, regulations coming from left and right uh, a president that seems, you know, that keep using the word redistribution
…those of us who have business opportunities and the capital to do it are going to sit in fear of the president [snip] …the guy keeps making speeches about redistribution and maybe we aught to do something to businesses that don’t invest, they’re holding too much money. You know we haven’t heard that kind of talk except from pure socialists.
Everybody’s afraid of the government. There’s no need soft peddling it. It’s the truth. It. Is. The. Truth. "
"Senior Obama administration officials concluded the federal moratorium on deepwater oil drilling would cost roughly 23,000 jobs, but went ahead with the ban because they didn’t trust the industry’s safety equipment and the government’s own inspection process, according to previously undisclosed documents.
Marcia McNutt, an Obama administration science adviser, commented on the corporate culture of BP in a memo sent to Michael Bromwich, the administration’s new top offs**** oil exploration regulator, on June 28.
Critics of the moratorium, including Gulf Coast political figures and oil-industry leaders, have said it is crippling the region’s economy, and some have called on the administration to make public its economic analysis. A federal judge who in June threw out an earlier six-month moratorium faulted the administration for playing down the economic effects…"
"American Electric Power on Thursday announced it plans to shut down several coal-fired power plants, convert or retrofit others, and cut as many as 600 jobs in the next few years to comply with regulations proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday finalized stronger regulations for Wisconsin and 26 other states aimed at curbing air pollution from long-distance sources.
The rules will help those states fight ozone and particle pollution caused by power plants in Illinois, Indiana and other states.
But Wisconsin utilities – whose pollution can contribute to air-quality problems elsewhere – will also need to find ways to reduce their own emissions.
The likely result: Higher electric bills in the coming years.
A group of power companies known as the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity called the action one of the most costly crackdowns on coal ever."
Nationwide, the EPA estimated that utilities are projected to spend $800 million on the rule in 2014, in addition to $1.6 billion a year that’s been spent to satisfy an earlier version of the regulations."
"Texas could face a shortage of electrical generation within a few years if the federal government moves forward with a new rule meant to cut down on power plant smokestack emissions, the chief executive of the state's grid operator warned on Tuesday.
"We believe it is our role to voice our concern that Texas could face a shortage of generation necessary to keep the lights on in Texas within a few years" if the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency moves forward, said H.B. "Trip" Doggett , president and CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas .
The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule will force Texas utilities, and others in the eastern half of the country, to cut emissions that contribute to smog and soot beginning next year, putting older coal plants under pressure. According to the EPA, Texas air quality suffers from power plant emissions from as far away as South Carolina. Texas plants, in turn, affect air quality in states as far away as Michigan."
And, as to the misogynist charge -- ridiculous! They are my favorite half of the human race!
