Thass why he increased the EPA budget by 35% after he took office, and put a stupid but radical ideologue, Lisa Jackson, in charge as EPA administrator.
Watch for lots more EPA “regulations”, regulatory “fees” and WH executive orders, a series of edicts will replace Congress having to vote on Cap’n tax.
Of course he wants to pass cap and tax, he already said he wants the money to spend on other things. He couldn’t give a rats ass about the environment. Just like he proposed drilling and more nuke energy plants. He knows that the enviro nazis of his party will sue to stop both. But he takes no blame because he called for it.
