Obama Bypassing Congress With Climate Agenda

Barack Obama is moving full speed ahead with his climate agenda, bypassing Congress by pushing regulatory actions and executive orders.

A crop of regulations at the Environmental Protection Agency intends to restrict pollution from new and existing power plants by implementing new emissions standards. The battle lines are drawn. Democrats and environmentalists are complain about the GOP’s stand against crippling industry, while the GOP maintains that Obama is doing an end-run around Congress.

Obama said on Friday, “Unfortunately, what we’ve seen too often in Congress is that the fossil fuel industries tend to be very influential — let's put it that way — on the energy committees in Congress and they tend not to be particularly sympathetic to alternative energy strategies.”

Climate change--they can't call it global warming anymore because it has been proved to be fake...this is a total scam--simply put, it is the transfer of wealth...this will have a devastating impact on our country!

These are not the things i have heard from those in the industry. Many of the oil and gas companies are doing R &D for alternative. The high federal tax rates are prohibiting much but they are trying.

The energy industries also have the infrastructure necessary to implement new energies.

Nobama is just a sleezebag who feels compelled to do it his way.

The intent is to hurt us.. make us pay more, take our wealth away, make us more dependant on government, own you, control you, and tell you what you can and cannot do while putting your money in the hands of cronies invested in more expensive technology. I hope we make it through the next 2 years.

The next president, if it is somewhere who really cares about the American people, is really going to have a lot of crap to clean up! Moreso than any president in history.

I just love posts regarding global warming.The Eastern Shore response is amazing.The outrage expressed at that topic has no equal.The mere mention of global warming envokes hostility.The other day I was in a meeting.I looked around the table and asked my co workers "what do you all think about global warming"? The argument/discussion that ensued was so intense that we forgot what the meeting was about.Who cares if it's real or not.I just like throwing it out there to see the reaction."Guess who's pregnant"? is #2 on my list.Say that & they'll tear you limb from limb trying to find out who it is.
