“The results would be made available to the public.”
Rile up the masses.
It’s a good thing, too, what with all the new oil refineries being constructed around the country...

What a gigantic lie. This 'action' will not cut ANYTHING by ANY amount (apart from jobs and money from the economy).
Based on the EPA's track record, it is possible that the billions of dollars oil companies must now pi$$ away trying to comply with this 'action' might result a reduction in toxic emissions equally to some small fraction of the claimed amount.
“Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”
New oil refinery jobs in USA : 0
New oil refinery jobs in Mexico, Canada, Caribbean, and elsewhere : Lots and lots.
How does this benefit the USA?
The ONLY EPA “Regulation” America needs is to “Regulate” EPA employees access to the world outsided of their offices.
This includes cutting off all means of communication.
There is no point in closing the EPA, lest these thousands of liberals are let loose to inflict their Marxism through other venues.
Good, let’s close down those dirty oil refineries and make the unwashed masses walk everywhere. It will be good exercise for them. Of course, WE ELITES will still get government supplied gasoline imported from friendly Moslem countries. And for all those folks in New England this winter — get your heating oil from Joe Kennedy and the Venezuelan dictator.
(the above said in total and complete sarcasm)
Price increases in petroleum product used by the government will be extracted at gunpoint from the peasantry.
The peasants? They'll pay higher taxes, and they'll pay more for petroleum product for personal use. (Translation: the government steals more of your time)...
Does anyone in this country care about the price of gas anymore????? Does the scum media have any remote interest at all why gas prices continue to hurt the little people?
This from the same group that said when ULSD was required, cost will rise by 4 or 5 pennies a gallon.

The EPA has got to go or we will be sitting in the dark soon and riding a solar powered bus.
If the govt would allow new refineries to be built the refineries would be able to meet these new requirements. Instead they prevent new installations which would be cleaner and more efficient, then blame the 30+ yr old facilities for not being modern enough!
Ben Zeen. Is that like Ben Ghazi?

As long as free people can afford to get in their cars, and drive wherever they want, they pose the threat of staying free, and this government can’t have that. Gas prices must go up until people are grounded, especially rural America where people have the greatest need to travel, and also have the greatest sense of independence.
Funny thing is, if you had 5 or 6 CEO’s with the balls Howard Hughes had, they could stop this cold tomorrow by shutting down their refineries instead of retrofitting.
