The EPA is turning to gases now.
They are invisible but measurable and the goal post is moveable.
They make a fine goal for the next virtual war which also means infinite funding.

I've driven thru the LA basin both before and after vehicle emissions were regulated, you'd have a hard time convincing me emissions control is a bad thing.
The clean air we breath, the clean water we drink and the clean food we eat is important enough to me to pay a little more to make sure we have these in the future.

But what about this change in direction for the EPA.
It's now about saving the planet ..a new virtual war we can never win but fund forever.
Controlling industrial emissions is more important than placating right-wingers who think their government's job is to prevent them from being upset or sad.
Well, you can pay my electric bill then.
Emissions from electric generating plants have not been a problem in many, many years, since those plants were significantly cleaned up fifty years ago or more.
I'm sick and tired of this EPA declaring everything and anything as a "polutant!"
Plants and trees need CO2. CO2 is good!
The governments job is to foster policies that produce growth and "promote the general welfare" as stated in the Constitution, not stifle it. The Federal Government exist to protect our rights, not take them away. Have you ever read that document? Did you understand it?

The planet has it's own mind and will fling us off her back when it chooses to. And most of the saving the planet
environmental regimes are non-profits who don't pay taxes...wonderful. Couldn't agree more HT..
Environmentalists should pay higher rates and subsidize those of us who know better.
