EPA Admits to Senate that CO2 Regs Not About Pollution Control
www.drroyspencer.com Global Warming ^ | July 25, 2014 | Roy W. Spencer

Posted on 07/27/2014 3:10:20 PM PDT by House Atreides

On Wednesday, before the Senate EPW Committee, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy had this priceless quote regarding the EPA’s proposed carbon dioxide regulations (italics added):

“And the great thing about this proposal is it really is an investment opportunity. This is not about pollution control. It’s about increased efficiency at our plants…It’s about investments in renewables and clean energy. It’s about investments in people’s ability to lower their electricity bills by getting good, clean, efficient appliances, homes, rental units.”

Looks like another slip of the mask trying to hide the EPA's true agenda.

Well isn’t that great the government can command and control the economy so well.

The jerk progressives blow a gasket when Sandra Fluck has to pay $10 a month for her birth control as if it is some Christian banning birth control (you’ve all heard the wailing.)

BUT, The EPA forces coal out of business for “efficiency” costing thousands of dollars extra a year in higher energy cost FOR EVERYONE and it’s just fine.

Progressives are dangerous idiots.

What kind of idiot would declare the most important compound in the cycle of life to be a pollutant?

Not exactly — it’s an admission that they’re all about buzzwords and have no cognitive ability at all, unless it involves getting a boot on all our necks. Thanks House Atreides.

So IOW it’s about Social Engineering rather than the original purpose of the EPA.

Apparently the EPA has been Democrated in purpose as have so many other aspects of our gov.

So it’s about redistribution, what a surprise.

If it had to do with SCIENCE
They would produce the docmentation.
SCIENCE is all about reproducing data and information ,
without documentation, it is more 'SMOKE AND MIRRORS'
just like the Obungler administration !!
seen any birth certificate ?
seen any college grades ?
seen any accomplishments that weren't a disaster ?
enough said !
When is enough ,.. really mean enough ?

“about increased efficiency at our plants”

And more CO2 means “increased efficiency at our plant” life. Greater yields, faster-growing, etc., etc..

About half our government would, and did. Disgraceful, isn’t it?

It’s not about pollution, it’s about control.
