FULL TITLE: Black Chamber of Commerce: EPA Clean Air Plan Will Increase Black Poverty 23%, Strip 7,000,000 Black Jobs (CNSNews.com) - A study commissioned by the National Black Chamber of Commerce, which represents 2.1 million black-owned businesses in the United States, found that the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan would increase black poverty by 23 percent and cause the loss of 7 million jobs for black Americans by 2035.
The study also found that the EPA' plan would increase Hispanic poverty by 26 percent and cause the loss of 12 million jobs for Hispanic Americans by 2035.
The EPA proposed the Clean Power Plan on June 2, 2014 to cut carbon emissions from power plants. The National Black Chamber of Commerce commissioned the study to evaluate the potential economic and employment impacts of the plan on minority groups.

Good!
Just black and hispanic jobs lost? No white or other jobs lost?
Like everything else obama will take white people’s money and redistribute it to them. the reign of freesh1t the first continues.
The chances are they will be OK on this one. They know their leader will need only to have those white crackers dole a little more into the kitty. Sorry, white crackers may be a bit much...is the term graham crackers more pc? Not in the best of moods today and the venom flows freely.
Every social program since 1964 was designed to keep blacks poor. And reliable democrat voters. LBJ bragged about it.
Over the already 60%.
Every day, when I go to work, my bike starts in a plume of smoke (yes, I need to fix the gaskets). It’s a minor inconvenience, at worst.
Just my way of telling the E.P.A. to stick it where the sun don’t shine, with the full backing of the state government. (TX does NOT regulate motorcycle emissions)
Ain’t federalism grand?
What next? Reverend Al acknowledging that the “”War On Poverty” has destroyed the black family?
When I was a kid Congressman Jack Brooks was at our house and I heard him say the same thing to my old man.
In the US, the EPA sets the environmental stds and each state determines how to achieve those stds. Each state is required to submit an environmental plan to EPA, which EPA must approve.
If the state doesn't submit a plan or EPA rejects the state's plan, then EPA has the authority to write a plan for the state and enforce it by denying permits to emit.
When EPA implements a plan in lieu of the state plan, the EPA is not required to consider a cost benefit analysis. The state does do a cost benefit analysis, which allows the stste to protect certain industries in the state, such as the oil refining industry in Texas.
The cost of regulating motorcycle tailpipes(as well as lawnmowers or boat motors) is prohibitive, so the manufacturer is regulated, and the product must meet certain standards.
Often a state(including TX) will regulate an industry or small business with voluntary regulations. Sometimes in Texas the state enviro agency will sub-contract enforcement on small businesses to the municipal fire depts., who issue permits to occupy a building and subsequently inspect to check conformance. They are in the business of enforcing the fire codes and the state pays them to enforce the environmental codes as well.
Individual body shops don't emit a lot of pollution, but collectively, all the body shops in Texas do. So, the state enviro agency regulates paint booths to the same std as NFPA or uniform fire code and OSHA regulates to that std as well. When the fire marshal gives a body shop a certificate of occupancy, the body shop is meeting fire, enviro, and osha codes.
As for your blue smoke, they don't care, because you are a statistical cheater, and figured into the computer program. They know that certain percentage of motorcycle riders will cheat, so they compensate for that by putting tighter standards on those that are easier/cheaper to regulate.
Well; you assholes elected your ignorant, progressive communist, community organizer in chief.
So all I have to say is tough sh#t, you got what you wanted and now you don’t like it?
Once again, TOUGH SH#T!
