Yes, targeted because it is owned by Koch Industries who is an enemy of the leftist warmers like Sierra Club. They are trying to take over completely from TCEQ but will settle (and Perry will probably cave) for a pound of flesh from the refinery. There's nothing back from Texas since May 26th (see http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/comm_exec/communication/media/) probably because they are diligently trying to follow EPA rules (they resubmit, EPA waits 44.99 days and rejects).
Meanwhile my stupid senator Webb snivels and caves to the Obama dictatorship. We are completely screwed until we get rid of all those idiots.
Nice try, but the EPA is slowrolling the Texas refinery based purely on paperwork technicalities. Not a breath or hint of any greenhouse anything from those lying bureaucrats, just rejection of permits just before their 45 day deadline. If Texas were allowed to regulate based on Greenhouse gases (as clean air act allows local regulation), they could trivially argue that the climate footprint of the refinery is 0.000 and therefore it can be permitted. So instead the EPA has to use dishonest back door maneuvers.
The Republicrats should have walked out in protest months ago!
This evil regime of a central government needs to be on its knees....or its last legs!
Finally, Boxer says something that I agree with.
This is a test to see if these politicians are on the side of the People, or big government promoting a hoax to gain even more control of its subjects...(citizens?)
I'll be looking for a list of the scum that thinks it's a good idea to tax us for the fictitious man-made globull warming
Au contraire, mon ami!
(A little French lingo there to show we still buy French wines.)
Joe is a total tanked skunk!
At first glance I couldn't tell which side he was on.
It seems to me that continuing to believe in the climate change/gnome induced temperature/global warming scam is a clear example of burying our heads in the sand and ignoring reality.
“This makes the coming house election that more important. Of course the Zero can veto any legislation BUT if the house holds firm and will hold up spending bills till he capitulates we can take this back. The EPA is the worse agency to be in charge of anything and furthermore, unless I miss my point, any attempt by them to tax is illegal as they do not have that power.”
I seriously hope that this is grounds for us to shut down the EPA entirely
I don't think the Left would like it if Bush had this kind of power
I pray we take control of Congress, defund everything Obama/Leftist, and work out the rest later.
Just stop him/them cold.
(Yeah, there will be elections.)”
In light of what has been going on the last year and a half, I'm proud to be connected with the party of “NO.”
It's not a bad thing to say no to idiocy or destruction of our country and our economy.
Vote NO in NOvember to all the traitors!
