Republican Sen. James Inhofe says the Environmental Protection Agency has delayed action or “punted” on numerous regulations while President Obama tries to “earns votes” for a second term.
The Oklahoma senator and ranking Republican on the chamber’s Committee on Environment and Public Works has released a report stating that when the agency approves the roughly one dozen regulations next year in 2013, they will “spell doom” for jobs and economic growth.
“The Obama-EPA plans to move full speed ahead to implement this agenda if President Obama wins a second term,” Inhofe writes. “These rules taken together will inevitably result in the elimination of millions of American jobs, drive up the price of gas at the pump even more, impose construction bans on local communities and essentially shut down American oil, natural gas and coal production.”
The 14-page report cites pending regulations on a wide range of environmental-economic issues including those on power plant emissions and hydraulic fracturing.
The report concluded that pending overall regulations on greenhouse gases if enacted would cost $300 billion to $400 billion annual and significantly increase the price of gasoline and home heating.
“The requirements are so strict they virtually eliminate coal as a fuel option for future electric power generation,” the report states. “In a thinly veiled political move, the agency has put off finalizing the proposal until after the election.”

Let’s face it, we don’t really know how Romney will conduct himself. However, we DO know how Obama will behave. Anything to destroy the economic health of our country will be given the ol “Executive Orders”.
Just another reason to get that socialist snake out of our white house!
Yep, and now we have many that “can’t vote Romney” simply to spite America. If Obama gets re-elected, we are doomed!
Interestingly, even the hardcore dems here (judging by downticket signs) are not sporting Obama signs in their yards. Not before Halloween, anyway. All that egg and TP can be a pain to remove...
They've had the hots to ban it for some time, they just cannot support such a ban with facts.
A second Obama term would see long line at the pump to buy a ration of $6 gasoline, millions sweltering or freezing in darkened homes because they cannot afford electricity and millions more unemployed.
