EPA Planning Scorched Earth Assault on Coal
The Examiner ^ | Conn Carroll

Posted on 11/05/2012 6:00:29 AM PST by varmintman

President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency has devoted an unprecedented number of bureaucrats to finalizing new anti-coal regulations that are set to be released at the end of November, according to a source inside the EPA.

More than 50 EPA staff are now crashing to finish greenhouse gas emission standards that would essentially ban all construction of new coal-fired power plants. Never before have so many EPA resources been devoted to a single regulation. The independent and non-partisan Manhattan Institute estimates that the EPA’s greenhouse gas coal regulation will cost the U.S. economy $700 billion.

The rush is a major sign of panic by environmentalists inside the Obama administration. If Obama wins, the EPA would have another four full years to implement their anti-fossil fuel agenda. But if Romney wins, regulators will have a very narrow window to enact a select few costly regulations that would then be very hard for a President Romney to undo.

well..It was actually created by RMN by EO during his 1st term.
On Wiki...."The EPA was proposed by President Richard Nixon
and began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon signed
an executive order."

China makes most of our stuff: Obama makes U.S. uncompetitive

The U.S. economy is crap . We can’t even make most of our own stuff we use as China is making that and beating us. Obama has been president for 4 years so it’s that piece of crap’s fault.Obama’s socialism has destroyed the U.S. economy . We have much more coal, oil, shale oil , natural gas etc. than China but Obama is restricting energy production which could have created cheap energy for manufacturers . Instead China is building 1 coal power plant per week and makes most things we use ( more every day but the media lies and says the economy is great). 17 million more people on food stamps, 8 million more on disability , 20 million more unemployed. millions of manufacturing jobs lost , 50% college grads can’t find jobs, other good jobs replaced with fast food jobs and part time jobs all this with 6 trillion $ in debt it added on us . after election Obama ‘s EPA plans to almost completely shut down coal,oil, natural gas etc. Don’t you democrats and other voters for Obama get it socialism never works

This “economy” has been running on pure debt.the U.S.A can’t even make our own stuff as China makes that. Obama has made the U.S. uncompetitive. And all this when technology has advanced exponentially ( so our financial status should have also) but it hasn’t because Obama has destroyed the U.S. with its socialism

   These over reaching regulations can be blocked by the courts. Bush appointed judges have already helped by blocking regulations. It will certainly help more to get a Republican Senate & President this time around. I wish we could just abolish it. I can't afford a higher power bill.

Assuming Romney wins, there needs to be some sort of a credible threat out there involving prison time for these Gaea-worshiping lunatics for such activities.

Dream on. If Romney is anything like Bush, he won't even bother to prosecute any of these turds, if there is credible evidence that they broke the law.

DOOMAGE!
