Brilliant move, E.P.A.

These people won’t be happy until we’re all riding bicycles.

Don’t sweat it. Just vote out the EPA bureaucrats in the next election.

Frankly, we get what we deserve. We put up with anything in this country.

I often see posts saying “Close the EPA.” Well, what exactly does it take to close an agency? A bill? A Presidential order? How hard would it really be?

Agency regulations, unlike laws passed by Congrees, can be challenged on their merits. If it can be proven in court that AGW is not scientifically well-founded, the regulations can be overturned.

Hey, congress, if we’re going to be ruled by czars and bureaucrats what do we need you for?

Maybe we need to do some investigation into MS. Jackson’s backgound?

Yet each year Florida’s big sugar will BURN their entire fields to yield an easier harvest polluting Florida’s air land and sea.
Course big money interests, the Fanjul family who donates to BOTH parties will be ignored by E.P.A.?

Trying to control the climate of the earth with CO2 levels is like trying to control the speed of your car by moving the needle on the speedometer.

Actually this is already law. Furthermore, the Supreme Court ruled last year in a 5-4 decision(Mass v. EPA) that EPA should treat CO2 as a pollutant. Thus, they have the ability regulate without any further legislation.

Cap n' Trade would help offset these regulations which, if law holds up, will be brought down to 250 TONS at each facility. It's called the Prevention of Significant Deterioration(PSD) permits. It's a nasty nasty little piece of regulation.

This is open warfare on the free enterprise system, as far as I am concerned.

The left really needs to get some push-back on green issues.

The EPA is incapable of anything and should have been disbanded before it was even created.

It is one of the most corrupt agencies in the federal government and has been since its inception.

I don't think I have ever been so spitting angry at our federal government.

Article 1 Section 1 of our once Constitution granted legislative power to Congress, not to pencil-neck enviro nut jobs. It certainly did not grant them taxing power either.

It is time for pitchforks.

These 14,000 factories will either shut down and move overseas or they will split into smaller factories under the 25,000 ton limit.

The fine points will be decided by that separation-of-powers oxymoron: an "Administrative Law Judge."

Who needs legislation when there’s no new plants? I wonder what the effects of this recession have had on greenhouse gas emissions? Probably good news for the EPA. Perhaps economic activity should keep decreasing...
