EPA CONTROLLING OUR ECONOMY!
April 1, 2010
Another day, another EPA power grab—today, it’s a great big one. Using laws completely unintended for these purposes, President Obama will control us by executive fiat. His EPA has now released its auto regulations of gas mileage based on global warming. Freedom Action has been warning of this action for several months, and we thank you folks who have written to your representatives concerning it. Congress in 2007 enacted new fuel economy rules to force people into buying smaller, more expensive cars. EPA has now made this bad law worse by speeding up the timing and also naming carbon dioxide a pollutant under the Clean Air Act. EPA now has the authority to control anything emitting CO2. CEI’s Marlo Lewis identifies the Pandora's Box EPA is knowingly opening.
He says: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency--by granting California a waiver to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles, declaring greenhouse gas emissions a danger to public health and welfare, and pulling its punches in the Massachusetts v. EPA Supreme Court case--it has positioned itself to regulate fuel economy, set climate and energy policy for the nation, and amend the Clean Air Act. These powers were never delegated to EPA by Congress.
