Insanity From the EPA

Regardless of my distaste for all things mathematics, I’m pretty logical and this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

The new EPA regulations set to go into effect -as so many other things- after the election are nonsensical and designed not to simply slow business and production here but to kill it… all in the name of “Green”.

This is important and another reason why we can’t allow obama to have another four years in the White House.

The mainstream media has been noticeably silent on EPA plans for the country … a slew of new rules and regulations to go into effect after November 7th that Obama has ordered be kept under wraps until after the election. What this Administration doesn’t want American families to know is precisely what they need to know.

The US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Minority Staff recently released a report on the upcoming EPA rules and regulations that, it said, will “eliminate 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. They don’t want this economic pain to hit American families just before the election because it would cost President Obama votes.”

The Senate report, A Look Ahead to EPA Regulations for 2013, looked at 13 of these new regulations, noting that they will hit American families, the poor, and those on fixed incomes especially hard, as Americans struggle more than ever in this economy and have already seen their energy costs skyrocket over the past four years.

The entire report is a must read, but here are a few examples of what is being planned for us:

[typography font="Ubuntu Condensed" size="20" size_format="px" color="darkred"]New greenhouse gas regulations will no longer just affect coal plants, but will regulate churches, schools, restaurants, hospitals and farms, putting an enormous burden on Americans. “President Obama himself warned [these] would be worse than global warming cap-and-trade legislation,” said the Senate report. The new regulations will cost more than $300 to $400 billion a year and significantly raise the price of gas at the pump and energy in homes.[/typography]

[typography font="Ubuntu Condensed" size="20" size_format="px" color="darkred"]Farms, for example, will be required to comply with costly permit mandates and have to pay a “cow tax” on each animal and an annual fee on greenhouse gases emitted. EPA estimates that over 37,000 farms and ranches will be subject to greenhouse gas permits, at an average cost of $23,000 per permit each year, affecting over 90% of the livestock production in the country. “The EPA will proceed to issue regulations, industry by industry, until virtually every aspect of the American economy is constrained by strict regulatory requirements and high energy prices.”[/typography]

[typography font="Ubuntu Condensed" size="20" size_format="px" color="darkred"]New ozone rules will cost $90 billion a year by EPA estimates, while other studies have projected costs upwards of a trillion dollars and destroy 7.4 million jobs, the report found. Large numbers of companies, by EPA’s own projections, will be unable to meet the stringent restrictions and are expected to close.[/typography]

Natural gas fracturing regulations will severely impact energy production, resulting in new permits and well workovers costing $1.499 Billion to $1.615 Billion a year. At least “14 Federal agencies are working to regulate hydraulic fracturing at the federal level, so that they can limit and eventually stop the practice altogether,” the report revealed.

    the vast majority of the great unwashed have no idea how much damage the O has done already because so much is set to go into effect after the election. he knew damn well if this stuff went into effect before that he’d never get reelected. let’s hope to God he doesn’t get back in anyway – and that we take back the senate – though no one seems to be talking about that. without the senate it will be damn difficult to undo much of the damage done – including that health care debacle.

      YUP. It’s frightening and I can see an uprising like no other if zero is re-elected. He better hope Romney wins…

    I hope, if Romney wins the election, one of his first executive orders is to abolish the EPA and bar anyone working for it from holding any more government positions.

    BTW, what happened to your emoticons?

      Me too!

      Smiley plugin stopped working when it was updated. I can tell the plugin author is trying to right his wrong b/c it is now updated every couple of days… still no joy. Hope he gets it right sooner than later!

    *THUD*

    Can’t we finally get out of this stimulus package boondoggle that will keep us with our heads up the next person’s ass for the next 200 years?

    My bro-in-law’s sister works for the EPA and even she doesn’t believe the shit that’s rollin’ downhill at them.
