EPA preparing to unleash a deluge of new regulations

Lucky Obama is for the "common man" Energy prices will go up and Jobs will go down

Happy holidays from the Obama administration. Federal agencies are currently working on rolling out hundreds of environmental regulations, including major regulations that would limit emissions from power plants and expand the agency’s authority to bodies of water on private property.

On Tuesday, the White House released its regulatory agenda for the fall of 2013. It lists hundreds of pending energy and environmental regulations being crafting by executive branch agencies, including 134 regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency alone.

The EPA is currently crafting 134 major and minor regulations, according to the White House’s regulatory agenda. Seventy-six of the EPA’s pending regulations originate from the agency’s air and radiation office, including carbon-dioxide-emission limits on power plants.

Carbon-dioxide limits are a key part of President Barack Obama’s climate agenda. The EPA is set to set emissions limits that would effectively ban the construction of new coal-fired power plants unless they use carbon capture and sequestration technology. Next year, the agency will move to limit emissions from existing power plants — which could put more older coal plants out of commission.

“The proposed standards, if finalized, will establish achievable limits of carbon pollution per megawatt hour for all future units, moving the nation towards a cleaner and more efficient energy future,” the agency said in its agenda. “In 2014, EPA intends to propose standards of performance for greenhouse gas emissions from existing and modified power plant sources.”

Hundreds of coal plants that have been closed or slated for early retirement due to Environmental Protection Agency regulations, according to coal industry estimates.

“Already, EPA regulations have contributed to the closure of more than 300 coal units in 33 states,” said Laura Sheehan, spokeswoman for the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.

What it means: Watch the economy and your rights get trampled yet again by a government agency with too much power.

Good..nature is far more important

Good..nature is far more important

Poorer people... Poorer country= bad environment

Good..nature is far more important

And the way to save nature is to destroy the economy. That way people won't be able to afford a car, a large house, or that plane ticket that causes environmental damage.

With any luck, poverty rates will increase causing infant mortality to increase as well, thus helping to alleviate our overall human carbon footprints on mother earth.

It's the leftist utopia where we are promised that the lamb with lie down beside the lion in harmony.
