On Wednesday, before the Senate EPW Committee, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy had this priceless quote regarding the EPAs proposed carbon dioxide regulations (italics added):
And the great thing about this proposal is it really is an investment opportunity. This is not about pollution control. Its about increased efficiency at our plants
Its about investments in renewables and clean energy. Its about investments in peoples ability to lower their electricity bills by getting good, clean, efficient appliances, homes, rental units.

Well isn’t that great the government can command and control the economy so well.
The jerk progressives blow a gasket when Sandra Fluck has to pay $10 a month for her birth control as if it is some Christian banning birth control (you’ve all heard the wailing.)
BUT, The EPA forces coal out of business for “efficiency” costing thousands of dollars extra a year in higher energy cost FOR EVERYONE and it’s just fine.
Progressives are dangerous idiots.
What kind of idiot would declare the most important compound in the cycle of life to be a pollutant?
.
Is Gina McCarthy a lesbo? She looks like it.
Not exactly — it’s an admission that they’re all about buzzwords and have no cognitive ability at all, unless it involves getting a boot on all our necks. Thanks House Atreides.
It all about "Feelings "
It has NOTHING TO DO WITH SCIENCE !!
So IOW it’s about Social Engineering rather than the original purpose of the EPA.
Apparently the EPA has been Democrated in purpose as have so many other aspects of our gov.
Its about investments in peoples ability to lower their electricity bills by getting good, clean, efficient appliances, homes, rental units.
So it’s about redistribution, what a surprise.
Aaah collectivism at its finest. :-)

“about increased efficiency at our plants”
And more CO2 means “increased efficiency at our plant” life. Greater yields, faster-growing, etc., etc..
About half our government would, and did. Disgraceful, isn’t it?
What better reason than to abolish this agency?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Am I going to get an annual $2,500 savings in my energy bills to go along with my $2,500 in Health Care savings?
My corn,soybeans and wheat are sucking up tons of CO2,and loving it.Send more.
You mean, Earth isn’t in the balance? That was just a convenient lie?
It’s not about pollution, it’s about control.
