WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama's administration said Thursday it will regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, after legislation on climate change died in Congress.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said it would regulate fossil fuel power plants and petroleum refineries -- which together emit nearly 40 percent of US greenhouse gases -- starting in 2012.

It must be nice to be King. EPA needs to go. They are a waste of time and especially.....energy.

Unelected, appointed officials , answerable to no one.. screwing the nation’s economy.. and lovin’ it.

Regulate Obama. Repeal Obama. That will solve most of our problems.

Congress could dissolve or restrict the EPA in 2011, paving the way for a better 2012.

Once again governing unConstitutionally.

I guess there is never too much or a tipping point anymore.

Clearly what the economy needs now is higher energy costs. That’ll sure help the job situation.

At some point, the “imposing” by these agencies has to stop....I pray the new Senate and House can do something about this....if not, Americans could begin the revolt....

Time to regulate carbon coming from DEMOCRATS!

Nope. And I don't expect we will ever see a tipping point. This is a kinder, gentler fascism.

While I never expect to see cattle-cars and death camps in America, I am expecting a little engineered starvation, as in the Ukraine.

Eco-fascist Ping.
