| Administration Warns of 'Command-and-Control' Regulation Over Emissions |
| 2009-12-09 |
| The Money Shot: "If you don't pass this legislation, then ... the EPA is going to have to regulate in this area," the official said. "And it is not going to be able to regulate on a market-based way, so it's going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way, which will probably generate even more uncertainty." The upshot: Soon enough, you shall be able to file any stories about the Good Old USofA under "Obits." More at link, if you can take it.... |

| #3 Just create the Department for Fighting Plant Starvation which pays producers of CO2. |

| #2 I don't think that the problem is that Congress is too busy reforming health care. The problem is that Congress doesn't want to touch this with a 10 foot pole. If they shut down or restrict the EPA in any way, their leftist base will howl. By not doing anything, if something goes wrong (i.e., the economy craters), they can just blame the EPA. |

| #1 The coverage of this issue is so wrong-headed, it boggles my mind. Congress CREATED the EPA. It can un-create it. Or at the very least, alter the environmental protection acts to forbid the EPA from regulating the emissions of CO2 and H20. But no, Congress is utterly devoted to wasting its time on 'reforming health care' while other absolutely critical issues get no attention from it at all. |
