It's like this - a state like Arizona cannot enforce existing federal immigration law that Obama refuses to enforce without being sued by the regime. But when the federal government wants an unconstitutional regulation enforced, it will take over a states business to get it done. In this case, the EPA is usurping Texas to cap harmless carbon emissions that don't contribute to a problem that doesn't exist. But terrorists continue to pour across the border that this same government refuses to even acknowledge. From Eco World: EPA Takes Over Texas Carbon Emission Permits
In essence, the jig is up. It was an excuse to impose more socialism, and nothing else. And that's why the EPA is going ahead with it's takeover of red states. More from Henry Payne over at The Michigan View: EPA Chief Jackson: Enforce Green religion in the public square
The Environmental Protection Agency Thursday announced its plans to take over carbon dioxide permitting of any new power plants and refineries in Texas, citing the state's refusal to comply with emissions regulations going into effect Jan. 2.How can CO2 have a harmful effect on human health? It's what humans exhale with every breath! Npo wonder global warming is at the bottom of the priority list of Americans, and rightfully so:
Texas industries have openly opposed the Obama administration's Clean Air Act, a program designed to curb greenhouse gas emissions. They claim that the cuts will threaten productivity, and that the economy, in turn, will take a hit.
The EPA said Thursday that it was reassuming the state's Clean Air Act Permits because "officials in Texas have made clear . . . they have no intention of implementing this portion of the federal air permitting program," The Associated Press reported.
"EPA prefers that the state of Texas and all states remain the permitting authority for (greenhouse gas) sources," the agency said in a statement. "In the same way that EPA has worked with other states and local agencies, the agency stands ready to do the same with (Texas)."
The EPA constructed a framework for carbon emissions regulations in seven other states: Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Oregon and Wyoming.
...The new carbon emissions standards were adopted after a 2007 Supreme Court ruled that greenhouse gases should be classified as pollutants under the Clean Air Act and EPA research in 2009 revealed that the gases have a harmful effect on human health.
