Global Warming on Free Republic
Posted on 12/30/2010 6:17:46 PM PST by tobyhill
With the federal government set to regulate climate-altering gases from factories and power plants for the first time beginning on Sunday, the Obama administration and the new Congress are headed for a clash that carries substantial risks for both sides.
While only the first phase of regulation takes effect on Sunday, the administration is on notice that if it moves too far and too fast in trying to curtail the ubiquitous gases that are heating the planet it risks a Congressional backlash that could set back the effort for years.
But the newly muscular Republicans in Congress could also stumble by moving too aggressively to handcuff the Environmental Protection Agency, provoking a popular outcry that they are endangering public health in the service of their well-heeled patrons in industry.

I agree. The Republicans should wait until the EPA starts closing business and the cost of electricity doubles. This should be right in the middle of 2012. The public will be so angry with the demonic-rats that they will lose every election in every state for every office.
Then we can worry about being too aggressive.
Global Warming on Free Republic
Who do you think the GOP will listen to?
The people or the NY Times?
Hate to say it, NY Times. If they do, they will not see any money from me for the rest of my life. I will continue to give money to NEW candidates I support but all GOP Central funding can just give it up.
I love how the "neutral" "reporter" states the moronic AGW hysteria as proven fact. Cretin.
Oh, please. As paranoid as Nixon was, you'd expect him if anyone to stop and think "If I empower the government in this way, how could it turn out badly?" and, easily finding an answer, NOT DO IT!
...and the Republicans holding every single office in the nation could STILL figure out some excuse why they weren't repealing every bit of legislation passed, signed, or even read by a Democrat, or the text of which contained the letter "D", as well as half the stuff previous RINO's had passed!
A "popular" outcry? I hardly think so. With absolutely zero evidence that "public health" is "endangered" by greenhouse gases, the Republicans better go to the mattresses on this one. The only "outcries" will be the ones funded by George Soros.
