Hey, this does not go into effect until January 1st
when Winter will make energy needed ...
only outside of the Emperor-by-Trick’s 57 States.
Of course,
Congress and POTUS will have all the energy THEY need.

Perry, I heard, will have to request B O to suspend this order. I’ll bet Obozo is just waiting for that with an outstretched hand.......NO, make that a middle finger. Oh, thank you Richard Nixon! :(

We will have blackouts next summer. We almost had them this summer.
Texas spent close to $7 billion on WIND power and when the hottest days hit, they produced squat! The wind don’t blow when its that hot in Texas.
We could have spent half as much on natural gas fired power plants and had reliable power when it’s needed. Instead the eco-freaks ensure that we will have blackouts.

The whole point is to reduce the amount of energy available for a capitalist economy. This is their goal.
Someone needs to call them on this - “OUT LOUD”.

EPA spokeswoman Gina McCarthy said in a statement that the agency's rule "will prevent tens of thousands of premature deaths and thousands of asthma attacks by ensuring Americans do not have to breathe pollution emitted by facilities in other states."They'll die of heat stroke instead.

OK. What’s Perry going to do about this?
Will he tell the EPA to shove it and kick them out of his state and let the SHTF?

"Texas being punished for not voting democrat?"Didn't Obama single out Rick Perry for being skeptical of AGW, and didn't FEMA, part of the regime, deny Texas disaster relief? Yeah, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet.

The “environmental movement” except among the deluded, “useful idiots” (Communist jargon), was never about clean air and water.
It is about throttling and obfuscating the undeniable, across-the-board wealth creation of capitalism.

“”will prevent tens of thousands of premature deaths and thousands of asthma attacks by ensuring Americans do not have to breathe pollution emitted by facilities in other states.””
Yet the same jackass administrations bureaucracy just banned
the inhalers that treat asthma attacks because of the CFC’s
in them. Obama is not only the enemy of the state but an
enemy of all mankind. Who ever voted for this jackass should
be ashamed of themselves.

But don't you see that the “green jobs of the future” are vastly superior in every way to the fossil fuel jobs of today?
Sure, 500 Texas families will suffer the loss of their livelihoods, but how can you compare that to the smug self-satisfaction of eco-bureaucrats and liberals who are sure that they're making the world a much better place?
