Joe Biden eyes emissions crackdowns, media warns he is ‘ignoring industry warnings’ of financial collapse

Today, Joe Biden is cracking down on manufacturing, but I bet he doesn’t have the scientific data to give credibility to the new policies, but he doesn’t care. He is bending over for the green pushers. Here’s this, from Fox News:

Biden’s latest climate rules crack down on manufacturing, ignoring industry warnings of economic devastation

Biden admin’s actions will ‘grind permits to a halt for a large portion of our country’

The Biden administration finalized regulations severely tightening restrictions on fine particulate matter that the manufacturing and energy sectors are legally allowed to emit, an action that industry said would have devastating economic consequences.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled the regulations Wednesday morning in a joint announcement with environmental activists, saying limiting particulate matter known as PM2.5 or soot would have health benefits for Americans nationwide. The rulemaking lowers the annual PM2.5 standard from a level of 12 micrograms per cubic meter to a level of 9 micrograms per cubic meter.

I bet they also can’t come up with scientific data that shows that CO2, a clean, non-polluting gas, at 420 PPM in the atmosphere, is any more dangerous than it was in the late 1800s, at 280 PPM. It’s what makes plants and trees grow, and that is good. Yet, we are spending massive amounts of money burying carbon.

There certainly is no data that shows that the 50% rise in CO2 over the last 150 years has anything to do with temperatures since they have risen and fallen for periods of time while CO2 was rising.

Last week he was cracking down on natural gas, which is a very clean form of energy.

The push for electric cars will also not change the climate,

Shutting down these industries is the reason.

If CO2 is a pollutant, and we also need lots and lots more trees... you might be a Democrat. LOL

Capitalism is such a dynamic, productive innovative system that despite the best efforts of the Biden cabal to destroy it and the nation, somehow talented, innovative people manage to continue to create wealth. Imagine the greatness if there were no Biden cabal.

Because that's what we do around here.

More evidence — as if any were needed — that the Executive Branch wields a dangerously lopsided preponderance of power in a system of what was intended to be equal branches of government.

We don’t have to imagine we can remember what it was 4 years ago.

The big question is "Who is writing the check to "The Big Guy" for this action?

Government spending is counted as part of GDP. But the vast armies of regulators who create regulations are an enormous drag on the economy. Not only are they an enormous drag on the economy, but they create huge uncertainty.

Imagine you are running a business and install expensive pollution control equipment to meet the PM2.5 standard of 12 micrograms per cubic meter. There is NO ROI or Breakeven on that equipment because it does not improve your productivity. Then, a couple years later, the government lowers the standard to 9 micrograms per cubic meter. You rip out all the equipment you just installed and put in new equipment for that standard.

Then (you guessed it), five years later they reduce the standard to 6 micrograms per cubic meter, so you rip out the earlier equipment that is still perfectly functional. The problem is, if it cost you $X to go from 12 to 9, it will cost you $10X to go from 9 to 6 (and $100X to go from 6 to 3 down the road).

None of this “costs” the government a dime (other than hiring the army of regulators) but imposes draconian costs on the economy.

So, the true way to account for government spending in the GDP calculation is flip the sign — every $1 spent by the government causes the economy to CONTRACT by $1.

Probably a LOT higher than now with all of the coal fired industrial boilers, railroad locomotives, steamboats and home heating boilers and furnaces belching black smoke.

“Shutting down these industries is the reason.”

The object is to deindustrialize the West.
