In the minds, such as they are of Liberals an excuse, in place of a reason is necessary to initiate a process, therefore they establish a lawsuit by a leftist organization for the Leftist EPA of the Leftist Obama Administration to react to.

It’s all part of the holding hands, and dancing to and fro in the lovely green meadows in the minds of the brats known as Liberals. I’ve had the unfortunate experience of them.

So, using the EPA as a willing partner to force policy and law via regulations that are being forced upon us from more unelected marxists posing as environmentalists, is to go unchallenged by American citizens?

“Conservation advocates say airlines could easily make big cuts in emissions, for example by upgrading fleets with fuel-efficient planes.”

Oh, is THAT all?

These SOB’s won’t be happy until everyone is unemployed.

All the pigs at EPA should be considered Nazis and treated accordingly. You can ask your daddy or grandaddy who fought in WWII the appropriate treatment.

Jeff Immelt’s General Electric just happens to have a new type of engine that can reach these carbon footprint goals! How lucky is that!

And, in other news... Demo'Rat PAC contributions from billionaire doners have quadrupled, leaving pubbie fundraising in the dust.

Seriously, this could work...just mandate that all airliners only operate under power for no more than 75% of every flight...automatic 25% cut in emissions...maybe I should work for the EPA...

IF you thought $40 in fees and security charges (plus the 10% ticket tax) were bad, just wait until you pay for your “carbon footprint”. In Europe it’s approaching 50% of the cost of a coach seat.

No doubt coordinated with help from the inside. Wouldn’t be surprised to find out this Center for Bio Diversity was a puppet company of the EPA. I would bet the hire from the same candidate pool.

The EPA action came a month after the Center for Biological Diversity and Friends of the Earth, which is represented by Earthjustice, threatened to sue the agency for failing to reduce greenhouse gas pollution from aircraft.

Okay. Ground Air Force One and all executive flights for Michelle Obama, all the flights for members of the executive, the legislative, the judiciary and non essential military flights. Generals with a few stars on their shoulders do not fly commercial.

Relative to Al Gore's (The Patron Saint fighting to save the world from Global Warming) his trips in a Gulfstream jet that he uses are a carbon burning monster compared to going down to American Airlines and booking a seat. He also frequently flies to California to his beach front property. Why would someone that is totally convinced in the rise of the oceans buy that property? The answer is simply. He knows he is lying and has acquired immense wealth due to his lies. He lies for money and lays on the beach.

Obama believes in cheap mass transport for the masses. I will gladly buy his next ticket to a Los Angeles fund raiser via AmTrak.

Also realize this: If a person were to travel 2,500 miles across the nation by car, they would spend a whole lot in refilling the gas tank

That is true, a single occupancy car uses more energy per passenger mile than a plane per passenger mile.

"airlines could easily make big cuts in emissions, for example by upgrading fleets with fuel-efficient planes."

Wow!! What a brilliant plan. These guys must be geniuses. And everyone in the US could make equally big cuts by upgrading their houses with new fuel efficient houses. Then EVERYONE in the US would own a brand new house, too. I wish I were smart enough to think of such a brilliant plan. And we all could simply use Obama's Stash to pay for them.
