EPA drafts new coal plant rules
BY SUSAN HYLTON
World Business Writer
Federal regulators are drawing
a line in the sky for new coal-red
power generation plants.
The EPA released draft rules
Friday as part of its efort to con-
trol climate change. New-build
coal plants would have to meet a
1,100-pound carbon-dioxide stan-
dard for each megawatt hour of
power, which industry ofcials say
is impossible to achieve without
carbon-capture technology.
Industry ofcials say the tech-
nology isnt commercially avail-
able yet, and could be so costly
that it may discourage the con-
struction of any more electricity
plants powered by coal.

Enterprise Institute, the Environ-

request for
info in past
mergers
They ask how the DOJ
allowed other airlines
to merge without going
into antitrust lawsuits.
BY KYLE ARNOLD
World Business Writer
American Airlines and US Air-
ways want to know why the Justice
Department approved other airline
mergers and are asking a federal
court to release the relevant docu-
ments.
In a ling Friday with the U.S.
District Court in Washington, D.C.,
American parent AMR Corp. and
US Airways asked Judge Colleen
Kollar-Kotelly in their antitrust
case to order the Department of
Justice to give up documents relat-
ing to mergers going back as far as
the 2005 combination of US Air-
ways and America West.
Each time, DOJ issued press re-
leases explaining that, after careful
consideration, it had determined
that the merger would enhance
competition in the airline industry
and benet the traveling public,
More signs
pointing
to articial
recovery
T
he nancial markets hit new
highs earlier this week, but
you would have had a hard
time guessing that by just reading
investor comments and analyst
thoughts on the economy.
Indeed, the amount of hand-
wringing going on up and down
Wall Street would seem more com-
mon for a recession.
It appears to be time to wonder
aloud if we are living in another
articial recov-
ery one thats
supported
more by wish-
ful thinking and
federal tinker-
ing than real
fundamentals.

Why? Be-
cause imsy
recoveries
often lead to
deep downturns. Remember the
post-9/11 rebound that turned
out to be built on easy credit and a
home-loan fever that was unreal-
istic and unsustainable? That was
followed by the worst recession
since the Great Depression.
This time, we have soaring prof-
its at many U.S. corporations, but

Lined up: iPhone ritual
BY ROBERT EVATT
World Business Writer
F
riday was the sixth time
Apple released an iPhone,
but Tulsans still lined up
outside stores across the city to
get them.
As usual, the biggest gather-
ing by far was at the Apple Store
in Woodland Hills Mall, where
well over 150 people formed a
line stretching out the distant
mall doors to pick up either the
more advanced iPhone 5S or the
less expensive, more colorful
iPhone 5C at the stroke of 8 a.m.
The rst customer in line was
Amanda Gammill, who said she
arrived at 7:15 p.m. Thursday.
Gammill, like many people at
the store, wanted to ensure she
was able to get the right combi-
nation of color and storage, es-
pecially since Apple Inc. didnt
allow pre-orders of the 5S. The
company now allows people to
reserve the 5S online.
For Gammill, the choice of a
gold phone was personal.
Ryder Herring passed away
in March of a brain tumor, and
we wanted to get a gold iPhone
to remember him by, she said.
Gold is the color chosen to hon-
or those with childhood cancer,
and we heard Apple was low on
gold phones.
Gammill said she and her
husband, Jonathon, passed the
night outside the mall watching
TV shows via Netix on their
iPad and trading turns running
to nearby spots for restroom
breaks.
By 7:15 a.m., Apple employees
Malorie Revels, 3, waits in line with her father, James Revels, in front of the AT&T Wireless store at Tulsa Hills Shopping Center on Friday, the rst day
of iPhone 5S and 5C sales. Revels said he arrived at 10:30 p.m. Thursday and that Malorie was dropped of about 5:30 a.m. to wait with him.
