WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama's administration said Thursday it will regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, after legislation on climate change died in Congress.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said it would regulate fossil fuel power plants and petroleum refineries -- which together emit nearly 40 percent of US greenhouse gases -- starting in 2012.

Yes. It should be steam. Pulp and paper operations produce a large amount of steam when drying their product.

God’s reply, I hear you but can’t feel you. the ALCU and People For the American Way has banished me from American schools and all other aspects of American life that they are able. Also, on November 4, 2008 the majority of the people that cast their votes said, via their votes, that they wanted Barrack Obama, not me, to be their messiah.

This will hurt the poor
No it won’t
The middle class will pay higher electric bills and also be hit up by fascists to subdidize the poor’s bills.

This will only hurt the folks who still cling to the old-fashioned notion of working for a living.

This includes barraging your Senate and House reps with communications.

The authority was written into the existing legislation for the EPA to create the rules and regulations ...

The people and places to be barraged are the EPA...district, regional, and federal levels.

When public comment periods are open...they need to be tea partied and freeped.

Read this article & thread...how do we do this better than them? Business Groups Urge Congress to Support EPA and Clean Air Act None of those business groups are true stake holders...We want to take our country back from the EPA...we need to get organized and take it back. Those people on that list do not represent America. Senators and Congress Critters are not the answer. Take the fight to the ring. Take it directly to the EPA.

Soon all of our paper will be made in China, which is exactly why Obama/Soros wants this.

"Defund the EPA."
Dittos. Either that or somehow get a majority in both Congressional Houses with conservatives and a eight year conservative president that will have the guts to totally revamp the EPA. Big order of business I know.

Anyone still think Obama doesn’t need to be physically removed from office? I’m tired of the gestapo nature of the WH and the repressive nature of Eric Holder. Washington DC needs to be completed cleaned out.

I wasn't specifically addressing the EPA. I was giving the poster general ideas about how to become more politically active.

But will Obama regulate the Middle East MUSLIM TERRORISTS who are plotting to contaminate our water supply, food supply, and blow up our sports stadiums?

“paper” / “power”, hey, whatever makes for a good picture, right?

P.S. - I’ll bet dollars to donuts that paper plants mainly billow steam.

“Obama will now govern by executive order and faceless bureaucracy. Whichever is appropriate for the issue at hand.”

As Valerie Jarrett declared in an interview almost two years ago during the ‘transition’, Obama will be ready to “RULE” on January 20th. Believe it.
