It will be worth it to stop global warming!

I guess these states can do without refined gasoline.

“New York, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. New York City and Washington D.C. also joined in the litigation.”

Every State listed I believe have screaming Leftist Governance. You get what you vote for.

They’ll be found to be outside some arbitrary guideline, because what is the point of issuing the guidelines if you’re not going to find them in violation?

Then they will be required to pay some kind of monthly “fine” to the state government of maybe a couple million per month.

And they will be required to pay for some kind of “offset”, either buying “credits” from the carbon credit mafia, or else buying land and donating it to the park service. All of this will increase the cost of gasoline at the pump, because corporations don’t pay taxes, they collect them. They don’t pay fines or offsets, they collect the money from the customer.

From the article;

The suit said about 15 percent of U.S. industrial emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, come from crude refineries, which burn some oil as they make products like gasoline and jet fuel.

Gee, and here I thought that water vapor was the main greenhouse gas. Live and learn.

Alrighty then...

Fact One: We are dependent on gasoline.

Fact Two: Our refinery emissions are better then the majority of the countries out there.

Fact Three: If this ban goes into effect...it will push oil refinery out of our country and into another country with worse refinery emissions...thus increasing carbon emissions that the eco-terrorists are soooo concerned about.

This is the worst idea ever on so many levels.

The same people who accuse President Bush of abusing executive power and intruding into powers delegated to congress are now demanding that the executive branch write EPA regulations without consulting congress.

[zimfam007]

What ticks me off even more is the fact that these morons use their BASELESS rhetoric to try and back up their claims of carbon-based emissions driving up temperatures.... when there is so much science out there disproving this MYTH!!! And of course we all know why they are doing this b/c they KNOW that drilling offshore will pass as well as exploration and drilling in AK, CO, MT, WY, NM... they are trying to contrive MORE ROADBLOCKS to the US ACTUALLY becoming less energy dependent. If you voted democrat at any time in the last 20 years.... you voted for higher prices at the pump, to heat your home, everytime you go to the grocery store.... oh heck you voted to increase your cost of living in EVERY way.... period! You also voted to increase the strength of people like Chavez, Ahmadinejad, Putin....

EPA: "Ya know, guys. You're right. We're sorry. Starting tomorrow, not only are we going to enforce existing regulations, we're going develop even MORE stringent regulations....just for your states. WAY MORE stringent. It's the least we can do to make it up to you and show our gratitude for your..uh..vigilance. In fact, we're so sorry, we're even going to throw in a full scale advertising campaign free of charge to let everyone in your states know that it was THEIR representatives that showed us the light. That's right, a ton of FREE publicity just for you. After all, you deserve it. Sincerely, your friends at the Environmental Protection Agency of the President George W. Bush Administration. XOXOXO"

Richardson’s doing his best to shut down the industry here in NM. We have a couple of refineries that are expanding to meet demand and comply with existing AQ rules and now that new technology will be almost worthless because it doesn’t address CO2. Nothing like trying to make a problem out of something that isn’t.

But, of course McCain won’t be any better on this; he’s swallowed the environut’s Kool-aid.
