EPA's electric power grab Regulation without representation is tyranny. The ideologues over at EPA are working outside the law and using regulation to push America into radical Green policies that far exceed anything Congress ever intended. EPA's Orwellian named "Clean" Power Plan is a tragic example. EPA bureaucrats are dictating energy policy to the states. They are forcing power plants to close while imposing massive inefficiencies and costs. All this will have no meaningful impact on global temperature. As CFACT senior policy advisor Paul Driessen explains at CFACT.org: "Electricity rates will rise not merely to the 15-17 cents/kWh in ‘green energy’ states like California, from the 8-9 cents per kilowatt-hour currently paid in coal-reliant states. They could skyrocket to the 36-40 cents/kWh now paid in Denmark and Germany (70-80 cents when taxpayer subsidies are included)." "Some 30 states will have to slash their power plant CO2 emissions by more than 32% and at least 12 will have to implement 40-48% reductions. That is a tall order, since all those states now get 50-96% of their electricity from coal, and all of them depend on coal plus natural gas for nearly all their electric power. Imposing that transition and a conversion to 20% or more expensive and unreliable wind and solar energy by 2030 will be disastrous. It will bankrupt families, businesses, industries, communities and even states." All this without a vote in Congress? This goes far beyond the wording and intent of the Clean Air Act. A change this drastic requires new law. President Obama knows that this policy runs counter to the will of Congress. That's why he's going it alone. We must fight to reassert what the Founding Fathers of our country fought for: A limited government, protected by a system of checks and balances. For nature and people too,
