Hard to say what the first order of business will be for the new President in 2013, but I’d say that de-fanging this and other onerous rulings by unelected “officials” would be right up there.

The air is very clean where I am and same for 99% of America. Maybe there is some smog in DC and NYC where these liberal geniuses live. They must be so stupid that they think the air is dirty outside their urban liberal enclaves. Or maybe they are plain evil and want to jack up electricity for average Americans

BTW Fumigate the EPA building and do us all a favor

EPA rules will create jobs to fabricate and operate the new emission-control hardware.

Building the Gestapo created jobs, too.

This administration is so sick of hearing how well the economy is doing in Texas that they are willing to do anything to destroy it.

The EPA has only one real goal and they’re achieving it piece by piece.

I’ve often wondered what would happen if utilities just ignored all these rules en masse and rebelled. What if they totally ignored the ensuing fines levied against them by the out-of-control government. Would the government send in federal troops or National Guard to force the shut down of the plants? Force blockades of the rail lines transporting the coal?

Unfortunately, many utility execs (like ex CEO Bryson at SoCalEd) are uber-greenies and are in the hip pocket of the radical enviro-kooks.

The EPA has only one real purpose and that is to slow the US economy while promoting third world countries economies. The reasoning behind this is that the world needs all countries to become states under a single head of world government. Catching on what’s happening yet?

Yes the goal of America’s progressive party is to bring America down and slip us into the United Nations not as a sovereign nation but as a subservient state.

This is what Obama is doing under the guidance of his controllers, ie George Soros and whomever else is supportive of socialism.

If anyone has any facts that refute what I have posted here please put them up where we all can see them.

No I'm not, because I known it for at lest two decades.

What is upsetting is the sheer numbers of people that would give American sovereignty over to the largest, most corrupt organization on earth, The U.N.

Even the Democratic party is willing to whore itself for such an American fiasco.

It’s the dream of the Democratic party! Many voters don’t know this but the leaders certainly do.

This is a great example of Robert Mugabe type politics. Mugabe ruined Rhodesia and Obama is doing his best to ruin America. Obama has been reading Mugabe’s playbook. I’ll bet Mugabe started off as a socialist

Why do just envision the next President of the USA—provided that Obama is defeated in 2012—signing a mountain of bills just to undo the mess Obama left behind??

I certainly can't refute what I agree with.

Both China and India were exempted from the Kyoto Agreement. It would have stifled their growing economies.

The current administration is far more blatant...and I paraphrase The Won...

“My policies would necessarily cause energy prices to sky rocket”

“We can't keep our houses cool and drive big cars and expect the world to respect us.”

Like I care that the world is envious of the standard of living in the US. But a large portion of the electorate either didn't hear...or shouted YEAH!!!

Maybe we should try to bring willing countries up to a better standard of living instead of bringing ours down to theirs.

George Soros can't beat this whole country. But the inner dynamics might.

Name a post-1900 dictator who didn't portray himself as a socialist.

The Democrats calculate that taking orders from the U. freekin’ N. will be easier than accommodating the American public.

>>Maybe we should try to bring willing countries up to a better standard of living instead of bringing ours down to theirs.<<

GATT and NAFTA were supposed to do that. Now American corporation are manufacturing in dozens of foreign nations. The only problem is that they are manufacturing items that were once manufactured in the USA. The heavy steel mills that produced so much pollution that the EPA bureaucrats could no longer breathe have been closed down and moved to China. FReepers cheered when the union jobs went the way of the mills until they learned that us taxpayers are now supporting out of work steel mill workers.

The automobile plants in Detroit have all cut their production because most of our vehicles now come from Canada or Mexico while us taxpayers are now supporting out of work automobile plant workers.

What would your plan be for those third world nations?
