WASHINGTON — Republican leaders in the House of Representatives intend to try to prohibit the U.S. environmental agency from regulating greenhouse gases, officials said, in a sharp challenge to the Obama administration.
Officials said legislation to be offered Wednesday would nullify all of the steps the Environmental Protection Agency has taken on the issue, including its finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health.
In addition, it seeks to strip the agency of its authority in attempts to crack down on emissions from factories, utilities and other sources. Numerous House Republicans already have introduced legislation that would hamstring the agency from moving forward with regulations to reduce heat-trapping pollution.
The efforts mark yet another arena in which newly empowered Republicans are moving quickly to challenge the administration since the party took over the House and gained seats in the Senate.

The Environmental Protection Agency reversed Bush administration drinking water policies Wednesday, announcing that it will regulate perchlorate, a component of rocket fuel, and 16 other chemicals - called volatile organic compounds - that can cause cancer at high enough doses. More...
The EPA is an unelected communist dictatorship designed to destroy industry and prosperity in our country, and we would be wise to disband it and prosecute its members for sedition.
Thanks again. Seeing that this is pmsnbc, the commentary after the article is a complete hoot.
not one dime of funding for this agency should make it out of the House
Also notice that all the comments that are contrary to the environmental orthodoxy are “comment collapsed by community”.
The makeup of the “community” there is obvious.
It’s also obvious, from what passes as “arguments” there,
that the communists have attained their “dumbing down” goals in public education.
This is going to be interesting. So many cans of worms the current administration would rather have keep under seal are going to be opened.
Yes, painfully.
It’s also obvious, from what passes as “arguments” there, that the communists have attained their “dumbing down” goals in public education.
But, the kids feel so good about themselves...
I see Mass. regulates it at 2 parts per bil, the enviro whackjobs want it at 1 ppb and the EPA doesn’t know. Yet another can of worms that is not necessary, if a state has a problem let them regulate it.
Defund the EPA!
STOP LOOKING MORE DOING!!!
