Obama to Unveil 'Biggest Step Ever' in Climate Fight
Discovery News ^ | August 2, 2015

Posted on 08/02/2015 6:26:26 AM PDT by Zakeet

Part of President Obama's new plan is to cut carbon pollution from power plants by 32 percent by 2030.

President Barack Obama will Monday unveil what he called the “biggest, most important step we’ve ever taken” to fight climate change, a sensitive issue central to his legacy.

The White House will release the final version of America’s Clean Power Plan, a set of environmental rules and regulations that will home in on the pollution from the nation’s power plants, setting limits on power-plant carbon emissions.

Laying out how climate change was a threat to the health, well being and security of millions of Americans, and adding that time was of the essence, Obama said in a video released early Sunday: “Climate change is not a problem for another generation. Not anymore.”

"WTH are Congress"

SCOTUS rule that CO2 was a pollutant and told EPA to regulate it with the Clean Air Act, which means they don't need anything from Congress.

But, Congress could preempt EPA and pass regulation to regulate CO2 like they tried but failed to do in 2009-10.

The GOP could pass regulation today but they need 6 dem votes for cloture and Obama could veto.

A nice triumvirate to keep all that gas and oil among themselves to build a world island empire and develop a new colonial Africa to grow their food

Who rules the heartland commands the world island
Who commands the world island commands the world’

Eventually people simply can’t pay the rates nor can they buy the goods whose costs are driven up by those rates

Especially with the grievous damage done to family budgets by health insurance rates and the food inflation none of tptb will admit ( but hey who among them actually does their own grocery shopping?)

That day of reckoning is closer, I believe, than the billionaire jet setting president and Congress even realize

The middle class is disappearing and becoming the working class .... Living paycheck to paycheck

Next sparky and his globalist masters will preside over the destruction of the U.S. dollar .... We do not know the day but we know it has to come

This malignant maggot of a president has the nerve to blatantly destroy this country...all the while the idiot, sniveling, feckless, co-opted republicans have controlling majorities in congress. These people are all traitors to their oaths.

Not only without the consent of congress but against 2 Supreme Court decisions stating CO2 is not a pollutant to be regulated by the EPA.

The first non-establishment GOP candidate to announce that his/her first order of business is to undo EVERYTHING Ophonybama did while President will win in 2016!

That is for EVERY office in contention, BTW — President, Senate and House!

UNDO! ROLLBACK EVERYTHING OBAMA!

2030...sounds about right...the next ice age should be freezing everything...

The beauty of coal is that the stuff still in the ground isn't going anywhere.

If there's a massive spike in the cost of electricity (if not rationing due to scarcity) coinciding with a major drop in cold temperatures, you'll see a lot of people with electric heat systems rapidly switching to natural gas heat to stay warm. Those who can't switch to natural gas heat will drive a return to coal-fired stoves for heat.
