EPA Plans to Ruin The Economy By Relying on Bad Science

Every day there's another economy-killing bombshell from the Obama team:

The Environmental Protection Agency sent a proposal to the White House on Friday finding that global warming is endangering the public's health and welfare, according to several sources, a move that could have far-reaching implications for the nation's economy and environment.

..."This is historic news," said Frank O'Donnell, who heads the public watchdog group Clean Air Watch. "It will set the stage for the first-ever national limits on global warming pollution. And it is likely to help light a fire under Congress to get moving."

But business groups decried the move as an economic disaster.

"By moving forward with the endangerment finding on greenhouse gases, EPA is putting in motion a set of decisions that may have far-reaching unintended consequences," said Bill Kovacs, vice president of environment, technology and regulatory affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "Specifically, once the finding is made, no matter how limited, some environmental groups will sue to make sure it is applied to all aspects of the Clean Air Act.

"This will mean that all infrastructure projects, including those under the president's stimulus initiative, will be subject to environmental review for greenhouse gases. Since not one of the projects has been subjected to that review, it is possible that the projects under the stimulus initiative will cease. This will be devastating to the economy."

Just wait. Every construction project will be subject to lengthy and expensive reviews for greenhouse gases. Development will come to a screeching stop or will be priced so high it will not longer be practical to continue. And before long the activists will seek to control other aspects of your life if they can find some sort of justification under the Clean Air Act.

That's really what the environmental movement is all about. It's not about "saving the Earth", it about controlling you.
