My name is Denise Garrott. Thank you for the opportunity to express my concerns 

about the proposed EPA Clean Power Plan. America's goal must be abundant clean 

air, drinkable water, fertile soil, safe public health, and curtailing Climate Change. 

Using coal to power a turbine designed over 150 years ago running with 30% 

efficiency is not smart, safe, or sane. Power plants are the biggest source of carbon 

pollution driving Climate Change and 60% of that coal just goes up in smoke raining 

down particulates, heavy metals, arsenic, cyanide, mercury, also creating mountains 

of toxic ash. 

America is leading the world many times over in producing destructive CO2. We 

pollute more than countries with billions in population. America ranks 13 out of 16 

developed nations in energy efficiency. What a waste. 

Power plants are causing Climate Change that disturbs the jet stream. Sun bathing in 

Alaska, frigid cold in Pennsylvania, snow in Egypt, deadly drought in Syria, 

frightening civil unrest results. Violent ferocious storms encircle the globe. In 

America because of Climate Change, we already spent billions on super storms 

Katrina and Sandy, so far drought and extreme weather tallies more than $376 billion 

in extreme weather costs. Count over $30 billion in lost bee pollination. California, 

which produces 60% of our vegetables, fruits, and nuts, suffers from the worst 

extreme drought in 400 years. Fighting fires in drought zones costs billions more. 

America cannot afford Climate Change. 

What are the global costs of this negligent misuse? What does America's wanton coal 

extraction and burning cost the rest of the world? Willful ignorance pervades. 

Environmentalists know better. We must change our energy source from fossil fuels 

to renewables and head toward a healthy planet. 

Regulating coal is not a war on coal miners. Coal mine owners have subjected miners 

to unhealthy conditions, denied them black lung benefits, and cut other fair job 

opportunities in their war on miners. They can join the 120,000 solar energy workers 

in a growing field. Miners can install wind generators on the few mountaintops 

unspoiled by cannibalistic coal removal. A solar or wind spill will not leave us with 

decades of pollution. Fossil fuels can remain in the earth for free. America can make 

the environment our economy and employ every miner too.

I live in the Sacrifice Zone for Marcellus Shale drilling wondering how that gas could 

be for energy independence and LNG export; or for security while poisoning water, 

air and land. They are making a killing on Marcellus Shale drilling. Building a LNG 

power plant in a coastal flood zone for billions of dollars to add to global carbon 

pollution to liquefy gas for export is not sane. This LNG export plan will add untold 

costs to America and fuel global Climate Change. 

Don't expose coastlines to flooding, create more endocrine disruptors, produce 

intersex fish, add roundup, toxic chemicals and dioxin to children, spread radioactive 

drilling waste, cause earthquakes, and exponentially endanger public health. Fracking 

is a bridge to extinction. Billionaires, beech trees, and babies can all be extinct soon. 

I hope this Clean Carbon Energy Plan is the beginning of ending this fossil fool 

nightmare. THANK YOU EPA. 

Please do not leave decision making up to PA legislature or DEP. They already voted 

to block funding for renewable energy, to gag doctors and protect drillers, do away 

with endangered species, and prevent environmental protection in violation of the 

Commonwealth's constitution. 

Instead let's look ahead to a healthy planet with EPA at the lead. Protecting food and 

water sources is already the number one goal for other countries. Germany has gone 

solar, Denmark relies on wind, many African countries are way head of us. They 

skipped landlines for phones and electricity cutting infrastructure and maintenance 

costs. Parts of Africa have 5X faster Internet speed. 

Earth cannot afford Climate Change. There is overwhelming public support for 

Climate Change Action. Make a healthy environment the economy.
