FUCK OBAMA:
After initially appearing to retreat in the face of the midterm onslaught, Barack Obama and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson have decided to pursue an end-run strategy to impose regulation on energy producers regarding greenhouse-gas emissions. The move sets up a confrontation between the White House and Congress, which has already signaled a willingness to play hardball with Obama on regulatory innovation:
The Obama administration is expected to roll out a major greenhouse gas policy for power plants and refineries as soon as Wednesday, signaling it won’t back off its push to fight climate change in the face of mounting opposition on Capitol Hill.
The Environmental Protection Agency has agreed to a schedule for setting greenhouse gas emission limits, known as “performance standards,” for the nation’s two biggest carbon-emitting industries, POLITICO has learned.
Under the schedule agreed to by EPA, states and environmental groups, the agency will issue a draft greenhouse gas performance standard for power plants by July 2011 and a final rule by May 2012. The agreement – which comes after states and environmentalists challenged the George W. Bush administration’s failure to set the standards – requires EPA to issue a draft limit for refineries by Dec. 2011 and a final rule by Nov. 2012.
The White House Office of Management and Budget has signed off on the schedule, according to a litigant in the legal fight.
Hi Pastorius.
ReplyDeleteWhat's better then some massive carbon taxes on the US industries to break the American backbone?Massive layoff will be the result.If you wanted to destroy the country would you do anything different?
That's right Will. If there were a time when this should be put on the back burner, it is now.
ReplyDeleteGo 'head obama, finish off the country as you initially planned.
This auta do it.
I really do not like Obama.
ReplyDeleteI pray every day that Emperor Hussein will be impeached soon.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a very good thing.
ReplyDeleteAs I wrote back in the beginning, his policies are so far out of the mainstream that I expect a tremendous backlash.
Well, we have seen the backlash from the voters, but we also see that he has "accomplished" more than any other President in recent memory, except for Reagan.
When Obama "accomplishes" something it is almost invariably dangerous for America.
