EPA to issue more rules in climate fight

MSNBC -- ...
The EPA has worked with the Department of Transportation to set new fuel-efficiency standards, as well as the first greenhouse gas emissions rules, on cars and light trucks. More standards for vehicles sold after 2017 are expected to be released later this month.

The EPA also has moved to regulate greenhouse gases from stationary sources such as power plants and factories.

Starting next year the EPA will require large power plants, manufacturers and oil refiners to get permits for releasing greenhouse gas emissions, though details are unclear.

The EPA will also require industrial sources to submit analyses on the so-called "best available technology" they could add to their plants to cut emissions under the existing Clean Air Act.

MAC48 All-Star Author Dallas Posts:728 Points:499,925 Joined:Dec 2006	Message Posted: Sep 4, 2010 11:09:10 AM Ignore MAC48 Report Abuse Our elected representatives & senators have not passed this agenda primarily because the majority of the voters do not approve of the these measures. Now the EPA seeks to accomplish by administrative edict what our elected Federal representatives have failed to make into a law. This is not the "Change we can believe in" most voted for in 2008 but it is the same tactic that any dictatorship would persue. IF you do not want your cost of living going up to fulfill this foolish greenie agenda, call & write to your US Congressman & your Senators to express your displeasure.

Oh I forgot no pollution control on many cars either. For sure no US still pollution controls after all they cost 30% of the fuel mileage.
