EPA delays globalwarming rules again

by Conn CarrollSenior Editorial WriterFollow on Twitter: @conncarroll

For the second time in four months

the Environmental Protection

Agency has confirmed that they will

again delay the release of theirmuch anticipated global warming

regulations.

An EPA spokeswoman told

National JournalThursday that the

EPA will not issue caps on

greenhouse gas emissions

pursuant to the Clean Air Act by

their latest September 30th deadline. The EPA had originally promised the

environmental activist groups suing the federal government that they would issue

global warming regulations by July 26th.

The EPA's latest ret reat on climate change regulation comes almost two weeks after

President Obama ordered EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to rescind her ozone rules .According to the EPA's own esitmates, the ozone rule would have infliced $90 billion in

costs on the U.S. economy every year. Analysts expect the EPA's global warming

regulations to cost more than $100 billion annually.

Amen to that. Bunch of idiots drinking the Obozo/Algore kool-aid. Global warming is a SCAM.

Anyone who points out a problem and then says "if you give me money I'll solve it for you" is a

snake-oil salesman and used to be tarred and feathered.

Global warming is a scam. The fact that companies will wilingly dump pure chemical sludge

doesn't are foolish. They just need to be sticking to real problems not made up crap.

I think they need to be scaled back, and keep their nose out of CO2 regulation. The EPA has done a

lot of good, but now they're just power grabbing like the unions. Maybe their time is up for now.

They have enough regulations to take care of, they don't need to be making more.

It is as accurate as any of the others.


This just proves that EPA is as incompetent as it i s corrupt. They WANT to do irreparable harm to the

economy, but they just don't have the bureaucratic chops to get the job done.


The EPA has to get a ruling on the First Amendment prohibition of making of any law respecting an

establishment of religion before they act. T hey have to consult Pope Al Gore and the Church of Global

The EPA and the Department of Energy, and teh Department of Education are all unnessary government

First let us understand what the EPA really is. T hey are a bunch of ignoramuses who couldn't land a job as a

McDonald's trainee.

The only way they can get ahead is to increase the budget of the EPA so they can steal more money from

the American taxpayer. If they only stole cash from us it wouldn't be so bad, but the EPA has single-handedly

destroyed most manufacturing jobs in the USA and our economy has followed it right down our EPA

approved toilets.

They are at the heart of the destruction of the US economy; I'm sure they don't mean to be evil but then evil

never sees itself for what it is. T he fact is that they are stupid people; how do we know this - they are

government employees and that says it all. T his means they are people who are afraid to enter the real world

where wages are decided by the value that free people decide what they are worth.

I can see the game that Obama and the EPA are playing. They are going to keep postponing the rules until

after next year's election. Obozo is afraid of what will happen, when the rules are made public.

Global Warming is a scam. The so called science was based on studies funded for a pre-determined

outcome. The EPA should be drastically cut and should not be allowed to legislate through regulation.


The EPA is out of control; they are the U.S. version of Gestapo for businesses.


Under Obama it is the Employment Prevention Administration !


EPA and Department of Energy both created in the mid 1970s should be abolished and the buildings put up

for auction so they can never be reopened in the future by Pelosi wannabees!

The 2 above mentioned departments are responsible for jobs lost, businesses moving abroad, more lobbying

in Washington D.C. and billions of dollars worth of waste in the government.

shut them down!


If these phonys get their way with this green global warming regulations in this country then you all had

better start learning chinese. T he asian manufacturing companies, especialy the chinese do not pratice any

of this environmental crap while the liberals and their holi one obama hold usto unfair standards, and as a

result all of you poor slobs in the United States have no jobs and they don't care. obama and his liberal

cronies care nothing about increasing our manufacturing base; all they want i s to shove this phony green

crap down the throats of all Americans, they believe that raising taxes and giving away money to their freinds

(eg. Solyndra and the Southern alliance for clean energy) will save the US; well they are a bunch of lying

theives they have already lost over 500 million to the phony SOLYNDRA that was in bd with obama.

Department of Education. Both failed wasteful programs.

I disagree slightly. I think the EPA can be saved, along with all of the other Dept of Something

federal institutions, if they are reduced to research departments that submit recommendations to

Congress. Than we the voters can get rid of congressmen that create over-reaching and

burdensome regulations. I have no issues with the government funding studies of ways to reduce

pollution, improve education, increase agricultural yields. It's the 'regulation without representation'

part of the EPA, Dept. of Education, etc., that I have a problem with.

Make congress do their job instead of getting lackeys to do it so they don't have to share in the

blame.

EPA is the liberal KGB arm against Amerika... - abolish the EPA!!!


It's past time to look at how much progress has been made in the past 20-30 years in cleaning up our air and

water. While it would be nice to have fresh mountain air blowing through our skyscrapers and drinkable

water at the outfall of every sewage treatment plant, the plain truth is that neither are possible. We could

spend trillions and cripple our economy trying to continually wring out every last pollutant, but good enough

is good enough. The Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act were not meant to be never-ending, ever-tightening

regulation-generating machines. The EPA needs to be reined in and given a dose of simple economic reality.

Like a 50% budget cut. For starters.


The EPA and all other institutions with power, but no accoutability need to be eliminated. The EPA should be

at least temporarily eliminated until 2018. Humans are more important than sand turtles. Their environmental

regulations do absolutely nothing anyways because China and India open 15 giant new coal plants EVERY

MONTH. The EPA kills business and does little for the environment.

You are so right. When they want more power a grant to the Sierra Club or some other nut job group

The headline on Drudge was too long. "EPA blows" would've fit better & been more accurate.


EPA needs to be regulating toxic chemicals, and not trying to convert people over to the hocus pocus

science of "global warming" or "climate change" now; like we all know that the climate has never changed

before.

EPA's global warming regulations to cost more than $100 billion annually."""

The EPA was created with good intent. They no longer function as a group making all states equal

in the administration and enforcement of reasonable rules. Putting all responsibility on the states

makes rules ineffective and meaningless. Enforce the rules originially on the books (Clean Air Act

and Clean Water Act) before making new rules.

I work as a private consultant helping applicants from homeowners to big-box stores to

state and local agencies get permits under the federal Clean Water Act and similar state

permit programs. These permit programs are started under LAWS passed by federal and

state legislatures, with RULES or REGULATIONS written by the departments that are

charged with implementing the LAWS - such as the US EPA, the US Army Corps of

Engineers, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and similar state agencies. The real problem

with this system is that the legislatures pass the laws, written as vaguely as possible to get

enough votes to pass the bills into laws, and THEN the agencies which are charged with

implementing the laws write the rules/regulations to implement the laws. And they don't stop

rewriting the rules/regulations, making them tougher over time, to the point that they make

getting permits needed for anything from building a deck on your house to building an

airport nearly impossible, and certainly very expensive. When tough economic times come

In this letter I would like to respond directly to the E.P.A.'s pestilential circulars. However, considering its

inability to cope with the truth I feel that doing so would be a great disservice to the E.P.A. at this time. So,

instead, I'll devote the rest of this letter to explaining as politely as possible how by spreading ruin widely

through the land, the E.P.A. has forfeited its claim to be morally superior to Attila's Huns or Hulagu's Mongols.

I guess I should start by saying that it's really not bloody-mindedness that compels me to get the E.P.A. off

our backs. It's my sense of responsibility to you, the reader.

The quaesitum of the E.P.A.'s credos is not the betterment of society but rather the establishment of more

efficient techniques to instill a subconscious feeling of guilt in those of us who disagree with the E.P.A.'s

causeries. To pretend otherwise is nothing but hypocrisy and unwillingness to face the more unpleasant

realities of life. You might say, "It's time for the E.P.A. to stop its systematic assault on religious freedom."

After Barack loses the 2012 election, about 2 weeks from the day he leaves office he'll have the EPA enact

both of these new sets of regulations as well as hundreds more. He'll do it out of malice for Americans not

voting to keep him in office but he'll have a news conference and say that "it's the right thing to do for the

world to help stop climate destruction".

The climate change freaks will rejoice saying the worst polluters are Americans and it's right that we're being

held to account for "raping" Mother Earth.

Well maybe that last line was too much?


He didn't order her to "rescind" the rules; he ordered them to be "suspended," presumably to be ratcheted
