EPA'S Rule cost 500 Texas Jobs?

This was actually announced on September 12th but I've been a little busy.

Here is the link:

Luminant stated that they will cut 500 jobs in Texas because of the EPA's new Cross-State Air Pollution Rules.  Based on the announcement, these rules were imposed on Texas without appropriate notification and without the adequate scientific justification.  Supposedly this offers very little to no positive environmental effects as well.  I plan to look at this as well because I don't know if TCEQ is just mad at EPA or if EPA is mad at TCEQ....could be both.
