EPA goes from Environmental Protection Agency to Extremist Political Agenda

During the week of July 28, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) held hearings in four cities: Atlanta, Denver, Pittsburgh, and Washington. DC. The two-day sessions were to allow the public to have their voice heard about the proposed rules it released on June 2 that will supposedly cut CO2 emissions by 30 percent. Many, including myself, believe that these rules are really an attempt to shut down coal-fueled electricity generation and implement a cap-and-trade program that the Administration couldn’t get through Congress in 2009, when cap-and-trade’s obvious allies held both houses of Congress.

If the EPA’s plans were clear, direct, and honest, the public would likely revolt outright. Instead, the intent is hidden in pages of cumbersome language and the messaging becomes all about clean air and water—and about the health of children.

Because I was in the area—speaking a few hours from Atlanta on Sunday—I took advantage of the proximity and signed up to speak at the hearing. When I first attempted to sign up, day one was already full. The EPA had so many people who wanted time to share their opinions, a second day was added, and I was put on the schedule.

Thank you Ms. Noon. Sadly, any opposition will be promptly ignored and a target number assigned to opposers. Meanwhile, I have a concern that I may now be a target of the clean water act. This is the second day in a row for it to be raining here in Reno and I have some puddles in my yard that may somehow end up draining to the Truckee River. That and the "fact" that two consecutive days of soaking rain proving "climate change" have me concerned. :>}

The ultimate goal is to starve or outright murder the US population. They just can’t get there in one fell swoop.

That was a good article. I’m sure it would never run in the “Big Press” web sites because it tells the true story. The war of coal isn’t about clean air, it’s about an agenda. The agenda is moving in a direction that will eliminate jobs and give small groups and the government complete control over the masses. I grew up in the 1960’s and 1970’s and I know what real smog is. And Cancer? You can blame Cancer on everything, but the fact of the matter is we are all born with Cancer cells, and our lifestyle many times are the triggers that caused the Cancer. If that plant were causing Cancer, then everybody would have Cancer due to the power plant. And Asthma? Really? Reall? Who pays these people to say such things?

EPA is the Environmentalists Political Action branch and the Democrats money machine to the tune of $billions.

From Lake Erie article

the EPA and clean water act came about in 1970 to help address issues like pollution in Lake Erie and tributaries

Is Obama’s EPA analogous to the trains that Hitler used to bring undesirables to his Gas Chambers, or the Gas Chambers themselves?

Either way, the Communist Environment will be Protected, if not by the Agency, then certainly by Obama’s “pen and phone.

OBAMA ACKBAR!

EPA goes from Environmental Protection Agency to Extremist Political Agenda

Uh, this happened about 30 years ago; a little late in the game to be noticing now.

Probably the same folks who paid to bus them in to the “hearings”. More like a kangaroo court.

Great post; great thread. Thanks.

You’re welcome. Thanks for the link.

It seems like some of these folks proposing this crazy legislation become bigger fools every year. Instead of admitting a mistake & trying to make necessary changes, they perpetuate the myths & blindly continue full speed ahead & they are ruining our country.
