EPA to Issue New Climate Rules Without Congress

While Democrats‘ climate agenda remains on hold heading into this fall’s midterm elections, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency vows it will take action to roll out it’s own new regulations on greenhouse gases. A senior administration official tells Reuters:
The agency “has a huge role to play in continuing the work to move from where we are now to lower carbon emissions”, said the official, who did not want to be identified as the EPA policies are still being formed.
President Barack Obama, looking to take the lead in global talks on greenhouse gas emissions, has long warned that the EPA would take steps to regulate emissions if Congress failed to pass a climate bill. …
The senior official stopped short of saying the EPA alone would achieve Obama’s goal of about 17 percent reductions in greenhouse gases by 2020 from 2005 levels.
Though Congress isn‘t likely to act on the president’s climate change agenda in 2010, the EPA expects it will do so in coming years, the official said.
Among the EPA’s new rules will be new fuel-efficiency standards for America’s motor vehicles, a policy hammered out by the EPA and the Department of Transportation. In addition, the EPA is also unilaterally working to regulate greenhouse gases from “stationary sources” such as power plants and factories.
Starting next year the EPA will require large power plants, manufacturers and oil refiners to get permits for releasing greenhouse gas emissions, though details are unclear.
The EPA will also require industrial sources to submit analyses on the so-called “best available technology” they could add to their plants to cut emissions under the existing Clean Air Act.
In today’s uncertain economy, it’s not clear new regulations based in dubious policy will affect job-makers.

Posted on September 5, 2010 at 6:52amThe percentage of emissions that cars put out is minuscule compared to natural carbon emissions that nature produces. More miles to the gallon means more driving that is a fact. More driving means more gas that needs refined. You mean the EPA does not require power plants,refineries, and industry to have permits already? Yea right!! Why doesn’t the “Speech Giver” and the EPA go after the REAL problem. How big is the carbon footprint for ONE college football game?One Pro Football game? One Hollywood Movie. One News show? No more games played at night. No more tailgating, hell the smoke from the grills are not filtered like the refinery smoke stacks are!! Move Pro Basketball outside!!! Lets not forget about the methane gas at a rodeo!! Lets tear down the stadiums and make everyone watch the games on TV!! Look at the gas and emissions saved there!!.How much energy does the “Government Stupid” use for all of their unnecessary departments. Lets start with the EPA, if we cut it in half we cut their emissions in half!!! No more concerts at the White House. Air Force one can only be flown in case of an emergency like a date in NYC. Cut the secret service motorcade in half. Make Sunday a no driving day, shut down all businesses like Chic-fil-a does because we all know how EVIL big business and profits are!!!!!!!

So many unnecessary branches of government, all vying for the almighty dollar and trying to come up with the next big idea to steal if from the unsuspecting public. We really need to institute a fair tax system. It would eliminate some of the corruption based, money grabbing, politics before the people, legislation and non-legislation that is imposing unnecessary and burdensome regulations and fines, choking our economy, our ability to run profitable businesses, and ultimately removing our God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 11:45pmThere are several Federal agencies that need to be disbanded and the EPA is at the head of my list. They are doing the exact opposite of what they were created to do when they were formed. The others on my list include the Department of Education, The Department of Commerce and the Federal Reserve to name a few. Homeland Security is another one that is useless as far as doing what it was mandated to do in the first place. The EPA decided just what comprised a “greenhouse gas” and made carbon dioxide the villain. What they will never tell you is that water vapor makes up approximately 94% of the “greenhouse gases” and I’ve yet to hear of anyone, other than GOD, who can do anything to stop water vapor. There is a simple solution to the so-called problem with carbon emissions….. plant trees….. they love the stuff and give back in oxygen. Of course, this is not in line with this administrations plans to make themselves and their socialist friends a boatload of money with carbon credits via the Chicago Carbon Exchange. Why haven’t the companies that will be so adversely affected by these regulations developed a spine and stood together to say “we aren’t going to put up with this”? If 500,000 citizens of this country can gather together to begin to restore honor to this country, why can’t the people who head these companies do the same? Isn’t it time for them to take a stand too?

Sadly, and though I really love Cadillac, I will not buy GM vehicals until they clean house of the unions and repay us with their money they earned (not using more tax money and repaying it and saying we paid it back early – deceptive). And sadly, I also think Ford needs to be tossed into the same bucket as GM, though they didn’t get a bail out – they are infected with the unions and it’s the unions that are lurking everywhere with their destruction.

If a union needs to be bailed out, and they all do because their pyramid schemes don’t work then they should be disbanded, assets sold off and if there is any money left give it back to the employees to invest in 401ks. The union bosses should be thrown in jail for mismanaging the pension funds.

The DOE has been overwhelmed with bureaucracy. They have spent more and more money supposedly trying to improve our childrens education, but the reality is it is all about justifying their positions. When something is not working it must be stopped.
The states should be in control of educational content by state. This creates competion among the states. The creme will rise to the top, and other states will learn from the better states.
First and foremost, parents must be responsible for directing their children in the right direction, of the parents choosing. When the parents accept the responsibility of their own childrens education is when it will turn around.

Posted on September 5, 2010 at 7:02pmI always thought the Texas Department of Education was in charge. Texas is traditionally one of the largest buyers of textbooks and the textbook companies need to meet the necessary requirements to be chosen. When the other states go to purchase textbooks, they select from the same textbooks that were tailored to Texas’ specifications.

While most of us would do our business on a different day to compensate, it would still send a message. This would also be in tune with the third great spiritual awakening if we choose Saturday. The ten commandments explicitly tell us to keep the seventh day holy (Saturday). Whereas we’ve been duped by custom to attend church on Sunday, we can move closer to God if we, on our own initiative, honor Saturday.

This is just meant in fun if your offended im sorry but there are far worse things in life than jokes.
Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Redneck?
Here is a little test that will help you decide.
The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.
You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?
THINK CAREFULLY AND
THEN SCROLL DOWN:
Democrat’s
Answer :
>
Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a
club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the pistol have appropriate safety built
into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing
me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come
to a consensus.

Posted on September 5, 2010 at 1:02pmAs many of us have watched the chalk board, the truth has been revealed. i do believe there is a sincere effort to cut emissions, lets do it responsibly with out political motive. whats wrong with Government is it turns everything into a political issue. (Well most things) Our focus as American Citizens Should be on reforming Washington from the inside out as we do in our own lives. then and only then will we be able to have the courage and willingness to use common sense, principals and values to make the decisions that will best serve the United States of America.

What’s in it for me ! all the talking points and psycho babble needs to go away and start doing the right thing for the American People. This is not the United States of the American Government, This is the United States of America.
