A. Barton Hinkle on Bain Capital vs. the EPA

Pop quiz: Which has done more to ruin other
people’s lives—Mitt Romney, or federal energy and environmental
policy? To liberals the answer is clear, writes A. Barton
Hinkle. They have already begun to portray Romney as a “vulture
capitalist” whose work at Bain Capital, the private equity firm he
co-founded, often left destitution in its wake. But to the
employees at the 32 mostly coal-fired power plants that will soon
be shut down by EPA regulations, the answer is quite
different.Â
