This boondoggle up north (Mesaba Energy Project for those just joining the blog) has a lot more problems than the EPA, but this is just more evidence that any coal project faces not just environmental opposition but also investor reluctance. Who wants to be the last person to buy a brand new state-of-the-art VCR? Not me.
