The EPA Versus the USA

It seems almost beyond reason that a single U.S. agency could so hate America that it was prepared to ignore the Constitution, distort a Supreme Court decision, and impose its will on the nation in the name of totally discredited science.

That, however, is what the Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to do while Americans are distracted by the Christmas celebrations.

The agency’s objective is to regulate so-called greenhouse gases (GHG) on January 2, 2011. More specifically, it would regulate emissions from power plants and other large emitters, but in reality it would end the role of coal as the provider of 50% of the electricity Americans require.

It is essential to understand that the primary GHG is carbon dioxide (CO2) and it was this gas, naturally produced by the Earth and vital to all vegetation and life on Earth, that was falsely identified as the “causeâ€

The EPA needs to focus on cleaning up our soils, cleaning up the air, controlling factory emissions into air, water and soils, reduce the use of pesticides and nitrogen-based fertilizers in agriculture, municipal and private landfills, control travelers and immigrants who bring in the bed bugs, and leave C02 emissions to the market place. There are numerous C02 recapture programs that can also be used by industry to control these emissions as well without destroying our coal and fossil fuel industries.
