Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy said Friday that the EPA is very good at making rules requiring individuals, businesses and state and local governments to comply with laws related to protecting the environment.
If anybody knows anything about EPA and writing rules--we rock at it, McCarthy said at the Climate Action 2016 summit held last week in Washington, D.C. "We do them legally. We do them on the basis of sound science. And while there is a pause, theres no pause in the action in the United States towards renewable energy and energy efficiency. We are going in exactly the direction our rule demanded and were doing it because the markets demanding it.
We could not be in better shape then we are today, she said.
McCarthy also said her agency is moving forward on the Clean Energy Incentive Program part of the Clean Power Plan -- to encourage investment in wind and solar energy.
McCarthy told Bill Nye, who interviewed her, that she had no doubt that the United States would live up to its obligation under the United Nations climate change agreement the Obama administration signed onto in December in Paris.
On his FIRST day Trump should get out his pen and phone and HALF their budget.
"The work of the American People is Too Important To Wait...."
crow now, darlin’ ‘cause next year you’ll be collecting dust in the unemployment line
I cannot say how this person irritates me. The administration would regulate me to my death.
That works just fine.
Longer picture...it has to be an Amendment.
The judiciary allowed this crap starting in the 1930s under threat from FDR. The entire Administrative Procedure Act should be nullified now and forever under such an Amendment.
We send people to the Congress for a reason.
THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE EPA
**********************************************************
You write a very informative and spot on article and then state “the problem is not the EPA”.
I respectfully disagree with that statement. This is roughly analogous to what we heard at Nuremberg from German Officers.....”well Judge, I was just following orders, so it was not my fault I blew that guys head off”.
Some of the rules these Enviro Nazi’s pass and unlawful, un-constitutional policies they enforce destroy whole families LITERALLY. I know. It took me and my family 20 years to recover from 1 legal attack by enviros. One family member never recovered and did not live out her full life.
Out West, whole industries are devastated allegedly because of tiny fish. The Hammonds, father and son, are wrongfully in prison because EPA and it’s cabal of fellow transgressing enviro groups, prosecutors, judges and bought off politicians want to steal their 700,000 acre ranch for a park, or to sell it’s surface and underground minerals to foreign investors, just because they can!
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, I see your point about the LAWS and the fact that our “legislatures” fail us, for the ten thousandth time. But, I would hate for that valid point to obfuscate even slightly that many EPA personnel are guilty of crimes and should be prosecuted. I understand the Nuremberg courtroom is still available. I would supply the rope.
As long as we are discussing blame, why stop with “laws” and legislators? It’s the American people and conservatives in particular that have allowed these snakes to bite and sometimes kill people for decades.
A depression that fills with water for a few months is considered a wet land which is PC talk for mosquito producing swamp that you can’t drain because, well just because. And don’t build anything closer than a hundred yards to it.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
This agency should be shut down immediately. McCarthy is a moron.
All this time I thought the EPA cared about animal life but with the wind farms chopping up rare birds and solar farms frying as they fly over them, I think that maybe these nutjobs have been lying to us. Could that even be possible?
It’s Eco-Fascism, plain and simple.
Yet another in a long, long line of government Marxist control freaks.
