If the sun comes up tomorrow it will be because of Templeton, right Wil?

I wish CT had stuck around a while longer at DHEC to beat on her own clueless environmental bureaucrats in positions of decision.

If they were so clueless why did she not get rid of them?

Never got down to their level in the time allotted is my guess.

I doubt she was fooled by them, but maybe so.

But, but ,but,
You have all those UNION electricians and pipefitters working at V.C. Sumner.
NIMRATA forbade it, SHE said not to “taint” the state.
I think she got the worst “taint’ in South Carolina.
YOU BETCHA!

He meant covered it for the People of Wal-Mart…folks who can read have been tracking this for a while. Templeton can try to take all of the credit if she likes, but the energy outfits in this state have been working overtime to unscrew the large dose of derp from this federal nonsense ever since it came rolling downhill…

Even when I may be remotely interested in what you’re promoting, the writing style is so arcane and convoluted, I’m lost. Or I’m too tired to work to get whatever the point may be, by the time something resembling a point is presented. .

And: The posts are so full of attacks toward every Republican in the state, that’s mostly what you succeed in communicating.

Clue: We Know you HATE the GOP. And we know you feign dislike for Obama, albeit softly, because he is such a BAD example of leadership, and he’s done so much damage, you’d look like a fool denying it.

At any rate: when you’re trying to express a new thought, do it EARLY in the paragraph Readers are not so smitten with you that they’ll wade through the self-adulation, just to see another trite treatise on your alleged disdain for “The Machine” (that you so strikingly resemble.)

Bottom line: people use the site as a forum, not to read your content. If you want to change that, either hire someone with insight and true creativity, or take some writing courses. If you ever want to be as relevant as you and Sanford fancy yourselves, you’ll take my advice.

Wonderful! Instead of carbon “pollution” that will eventually fade into the background and become part of the ecology, we invest in nuclear waste, that will be deadly for hundreds of thousands of years. Excellent trade!

I’m not going to lie….when I read the title of this article I thought it was going to be about how the Office of Regulatory Staff actually grew a backbone and said “no” to SCE&G for once. I guess I was way off!

Why would they say “no” to the boss who pays them a bigger salary under the table than we pay them over the table? Surely you don’t believe ethics come into play in such matters.

I have always wondered how the state’s ethics laws can allow an agency to be funded by the companies they regulate, while the agency also hires family members of the general assembly whose campaigns are funded by SCE&G. If anyone questions how rate hikes happen, just call up ORS and ask them how many times they’ve actually stood up to SCE&G. We all blame the PSC for allowing SCE&G to do whatever it wants, but it’s ORS that’s supposed to stand up for the rate payers, not the PSC.

This. Myra Reece is the leader at DHEC who deserves the credit here. She and her team have been meeting monthly with stakeholders for more than 2 years on this. Templeton participated in precisely ZERO of those discussions. The one time I heard Templeton speak about the rule (well after the proposal was released) she had no idea what was going on. P.S. Alan Wilson wasn’t in any of the meetings, either.

Reece is a rarity in the management there. Smart, dedicated, competent, honest. Others may have one or two of these but not nearly enough have all of them.

Very early campaign ad for Templeton…
Are we really supposed to believe that a trial lawyer – Templeton – knows anything about carbon emissions and can discuss any DHEC regulated knowledgeably with scientists?
Sewage, maybe…
I guess, like Trikki, FITS thinks trial lawyers are the smartest people in the world.

Climate Deniers August 28, 2015 at 8:55 am

The only thing a climate denier has to “know” is what they are told to say by industries who would be inconvenienced by environmental regulations. Any old lawyer can do that.

Dear Anita Zucker, Ya know, your presser in the Post and Courier today about three-D printing can really be used to crop dust Templeton on her EPA efforts. You do know that all that COAL is a lot more valuable for printing airplane parts and gun parts and washing machine parts right at HOME instead of a manufacturing facility….do you not? We wonder if Wil Folks will report on which companies YOU have funds invested in so he can let his LOYAL readers know to take advantage of the stocks to pad their retirement PENSIONS..?…!!

Anita, take a moment if you would, which site is easier to read? The Post and Courier or FITSNEWS..? Maybe you can take a walk down to Longborough Dock and call Mr. Folks with your feedback? (…or use your phone to comment in this very article for him to read as well as ALL his loyal readers at the SAME TIME. ..)

Anita………what type of energy production source can be printed and assembled from a printer in your garage today that no one is being informed of?

“But is that pressure ultimately what got this rule changed? Or was it Templeton putting the heat on agency officials one-on-one – refusing to take “no” for an answer?”

Cute Will. How about read up a little on the rulemaking procedures found in the Administrative Procedures Act. You cannot unilaterally change an agency’s rule by flying and meeting with the head of a department in a hotel gym.
