The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Friday filed a lawsuit that challenges EPAs recent rejection of its petition for reconsideration of the agencys 2009 endangerment finding that greenhouse gases threaten humans.
The finding is the underpinning for upcoming EPA rules limiting emissions from power plants, factories and other sources that are opposed by a number of business groups.
The U.S. Chamber, policymakers, numerous trade groups, state governments, and businesses throughout the country have collectively raised strong concerns about the significant negative impact the EPAs endangerment finding will have on jobs and local economies, said Robin Conrad, executive vice president of the U.S. Chambers National Chamber Litigation Center, in a prepared statement.

Beam me to Planet Gore !EPA: An unelected, flunky bureaucracy populated with radical, no-growth, Marxist, environmental nut-jobs wielding rogue powers based in junk science. A cancer on the private sector. Ultimately, the EPA is not about the environment. It is about legislating from the Executive Branch in Soviet Agency style. It has the convenient unconstitutional feature of allowing the Obama Administration to pursue an extreme global warming agenda, to make energy prices necessarily sky-rocket, and gain sweeping regulatory control over the US economy without a politically difficult vote in congress.
