Here’s hoping the space aliens come back to get him and carry him off before then! Otherwise, I’m not sure we’re going to last three and a half years...
Video! we need video! You tube expose this madness.
END PRODUCTION AMERICA
If the above is true, let the lawsuits begin. If the environmental whackos can tie up our right of self-sufficiency for energy and productivity for years (nuke plants, clean coal, water for guppies rather water for farmers in CA for examples), why don't we do the same on the hundreds (thousands?) of regulations that We The People deem unConstitutional?
Of course, it will take huge sums of money. Still, we should be looking at funding the appropriate law centers, while the "Marches" continue on DC, district and state offices, and MSM, and working towards booting out RINOS. Sort of a (3) prong attack!
This is already in motion, folks.
I work for a large chemical manufacturing company. The EPA is requiring us to put automated measurement and reporting capability for a host of GHG’s, including Co2 and methane.
This is going to cost us 10’s of millions of $$$s to implement and has to be fully implemented by 2011.
Measuring something is the first step to controlling (or taxing) that something...
We’re gonna run outta toes, but the nose awaits.
Green job = Carbon police!
Congress is there to protect the czars and bureaucrats for us.
Exactly. Which means, of course, that the regs will actually INCREASE CO2 production, either because the same material production is done overseas (where environmental regs are less stringent, energy production is less efficient, and energy costs for shipping must be added in) or because the work is done in smaller factories that are less efficient.
You can't even -- truthfully -- call it an "unintended consequence," since the consequence is entirely and rationally predictable. Which just goes to illustrate that the intention of these regs is NOT to improve the environment, but rather to further stateism: to increase the size and power of government.
