Tuesday

Yeah, i’m not as good at writing headlines as Aggie.

Let’s start with The Wire. If you’ve not seen it, watch it. Even if you’ve never seen it, or don’t intend to, this is still one of the coolest cop scenes ever made.

Turn out the lights.

Most important, the EPA’s regulatory cascade is a clear and present danger to the reliability and stability of the U.S. power system and grid. The spree affects plants that provide 40% of U.S. baseload capacity in the U.S., and almost half of U.S. net generation. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, which is charged with ensuring the integrity of the power supply, reported this month in a letter to the Senate that 81 gigawatts of generating capacity is “very likely” or “likely” to be subtracted by 2018 amid coal plant retirements and downgrades.

That’s about 8% of all U.S. generating capacity. Merely losing 56 gigawatts—a midrange scenario in line with FERC and industry estimates—is the equivalent of wiping out all power generation for Florida and Mississippi.

Warren Buffet owes back taxes.

Billionaire Warren Buffett says folks like him should have to pay more taxes — but it turns out his firm, Berkshire Hathaway, hasn’t paid what it’s already owed for years.

That’s right: As Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson notes, the company openly admits that it owes back taxes since as long ago as 2002.

Surprised? Yeah, I’m not either.

You know what time it is now, don’t you? Yeah, that’s right. Time for a Hooker…
