The GOP minority report, issued last Wednesday, said a series of proposed and partially implemented new regulations on industrial boilers, greenhouse gas emitters, and ozone levels will put over 800,000 jobs at risk with little environmental benefit.

EXCERPTS:
Tough new rules proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) restricting greenhouse gas emissions will "slow construction nationwide for years" – but will only reduce global temperatures 0.0015 (15 ten-thousandths) of a degree Celsius in the next century.
"(D)uring this time, tens of thousands of sources each year would be prevented from constructing or modifying," the EPA staff wrote. "In fact, it is reasonable to assume that many of those sources will be forced to abandon altogether plans to construct or modify. As a result, a literal application (of the permit requirement) to GHG (greenhouse gas) sources would slow construction nationwide for years, with all of the adverse effects that this would have on economic development."
All of these complications stem from EPA's desire to regulate mobile sources of greenhouse gases — primarily automobiles. By issuing a finding last Spring that carbon dioxide is a danger to public health, the EPA is able to regulate mobile output of the gas; but the ancillary effect is that stationary CO2 emitters — factories, schools, office buildings — are now subject to those Clean Air Act regulations as well.
In a speech on the Senate floor last week, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the ranking Republican on the EPW committee, said the proposed rules would have "no meaningful" impact on the environment.
"Every day, the EPA seems to demonstrate how vastly disconnected it is to the folks who feed us."
