SHHHHH, don't tell the republicans. Maybe they will not notice, maybe they will not go half-cocked and try to take the EPA power from them. Nah, Murkowski already has a bill attmepting to do just that. And guess what, it has some democrats co-sponsoring. Not kidding!
I just do not know what is wrong with this Democratic Party? Some members are great on some democratic issues, and then when it is not all that great for there states, they are a NO! Stubborn and spoiled rotten. Maybe that is why congress has a terrible approval rating!
Join me over the jump for article and discssion:
So, Under the clean air act the EPA has the right to regulate greenhouse gases! The Department did a study, and found that grenhouse gases cause global warming! Here is a quote from the article:
[Starting in July 2011, new sources of at least 100,000 tons of greenhouse gases a year and any existing plants that increase emissions by 75,000 tons will have to seek permits, the agency said.
In the first two years, the E.P.A. expects to issue about 550 permits covering the coal-fired plants, refineries, cement manufacturers, solid waste landfills and other large polluters, said Gina McCarthy, the agency’s assistant administrator.]
July 2011, 1 year from now, the republicans will be going nuts trying to do something about this! Do you all think this is a good move, or do you think the Congress can pass a better bill?
