Can’t we tie up these new regs in the courts for at least two years until the 2012 elections? Hopefully a Republican appointee can then scuttle them.

In addition to cap and trade, there are many GHG laws that need to be repealed Like Cafe Standards for Heavy Trucks. These will only increase the Number of Medium trucks, by removing the Heavy trucks. I shudder when someone refers to electric vehicles as pollution free.

Any rule issued by the EPA can be challenged by me, you, anyone, under the Data Quality Act. The DQA demands that any rule issued by a federal agency must be based on the best science. If it’s not, the rule is void.

So if you’re learned in science, you can challenge any EPA rule or any part of it. The federal courts are also bound by DQA, including the USSC.

So yes, the EPA can be tied up for years, probably well past 2012.
