Jackson in little noticed press releases from March 29 and April 1, the “final decision” that “greenhouse gases (GHGs)” and “carbon pollution” will be regulated (taxed) by the federal government is complete and the imposition of “construction and operating permit requirements for the largest emitting facilities will begin.”

Interesting how we have gone from a people that were governed by the states, to being governed by the Feds, to being governed by the EPA. This has to change back to the states who are governed by the people.
There is a war on the horizon, and it is not unlike that of the American Revolution. Reading and teaching on that right now.

Call your Congressman on this. There is a resolution in the House with bipartisan support that will block this ruling. Let your rep know how you feel.
I would like to know where our politicians are and why they aren’t cranking down on the EPA. EPA doesn’t run this country. They have taken all the power out of the Congress and politicians. Because of the EPA, Congress is useless.
Puking, they are going to rob us into the poorhouse and give it to crack heads..
Start with Nazi Piglousy and her jet first.

I was under the impression that only Congress can levy taxes!
There-fixed it.
Another example. Check the tag.
It's worse than you think.
CO2 regulation is a big issue but there is no doubt that it will be tied up in court for years and years. In the meantime - while everyone is watching the CO2 action EPA has been very, very, very busy pouring out regs, one after another, that hammer businesses.
CO2 has been a very effective head fake for them.
