The House will likely vote this week on measures to delay or weaken Environmental Protection Agency rules reducing air pollution from industrial boilers, incinerators and cement plants.
House Republicans leaders have taken aim at a new EPA rule that would require cement producers, incinerators and industrial boilers to reduce their mercury and other harmful emissions by 90 percent. The rule is set to go into effect in 2013.
Republican called on President Barack Obama today to urge the Democratic-controlled Senate to support a measure that would delay or weaken the new standards. Politicians also asked him to sign the bills if they make it to his desk.

The house will fight this...the greenie movement plays a huge role in destroying our economy. One thing I really liked about Cain was his comment that he would close the EPA and lock the door if he were to become president.
How did humans ever manage to live without the EPA before its establishment?

I liked that too.
If anyone would care to do a study or statistical analysis, I would bet the Chinese are responsible for more EPA violations in this country than all American companies combined.
I can’t find a Constitutional basis for the EPA; which article, specifically gives the federal government such power?
The “general welfare” language of the Preamble is not an Article...
There is no honest response to your post #6.
There should be. Toxic sheet rock imported from China used in a large number of new home construction in recent years. Major contaminants a a large variety of products imported from China. This link is to an article 4 years old. Ya really think things have improved?

Don’t freek about the source. If you care, please research the subject for yourself. I’m going to bed.
Source: U.S. EPA, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards. 1999 National Emissions Inventory for Hazardous Air Pollutants. http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/net/1999inventory.html#final3haps.
Now the questions are:
- What is the total?
- What is considered hazardous 9pre the latest EPA edicts)?
Standing alone, the 2% stat is meaningless.
According to the source the total is 117.3 tons per year. Very small amounts of methylmercury can cause problems. EPA lists 0.1 micrograms of methymercury per kilogram of body weight per day.
