That is straight up false.

Power plant owners being too cheap and lazy to make sure their infrastructure can handle extreme cold weather has frick all to do with EPA regulations.

This is essentially a Titanic situation where they were told there could be a problem if A B and C happened and they decided "Nah, watertight compartments that go all the way to the top of the ship and enough lifeboats for everyone on board are too expensive and will cut into our profits. Why pay for redundancies for something that might never happen?"
