YOUR RIGHTS DRIFTING AWAY
This
past week the EPA held a series of regional hearings throughout the
country—in Denver, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Washington. EPA
representatives heard from the public about the job-killing rules on
power plants it proposed in June, which would force states to impose
draconian restrictions on carbon emissions by 2030.
The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created in 1970 for the
purpose of considering ways in which the US could preserve the
environment. However, after recently imposing a series of harsh new
restrictions on the energy industry, it seems the EPA has drastically
overstepped its boundaries.
Australia’s
recent carbon tax experiment has laid bare for the world to see the
dirty truth behind climate taxation: it hurts individuals and families
across the board, causing the economy to suffer without having any
significant impact on the climate.
The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) touted good intentions when they
unveiled 645 pages of energy restrictions under the banner of helping
the environment. They can’t hide behind good intentions though when
their copious regulations damage the job market and increase energy
costs. The EPA’s requirements will not only hurt energy workers but will
also affect every American.
On
June 2nd, the Obama administration through the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) announced 645-pages of new regulations. These restrictions
will irrevocably alter America’s energy framework through top-down
regulation discouraging coal production in the name of helping the
environment.
It’s
clear based on the bipartisan flogging the proposal was met with on
Capitol Hill that the EPA’s sales job isn’t fooling anyone. Instead,
critics on both sides of the ideological divide have slammed the new
rules as another characteristic power grab by the agency, one that will
infringe individual’s land rights and have profoundly detrimental
effects on small businesses.
