“We will continue to use all the tools available to us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the president believes in the science. He believes we have a Supreme Court decision and we will continue to move forward.”

Carol Browner, Obama’s Global Warming / Climate Change Czarina

Obama is beholden to the hard core environmentalists and can’t get the Senate to push through new regulations limiting the gas, CO2, that we all exhale and plant life uses for photosynthesis. Therefore, he will regulate CO2 through the EPA and they will deploy regulations and measure more draconian than anything the legislature would dream of voting for.

Coal Keeps The Lights On!

And the next target for Obama and the EPA is the backbone of our nations electrical grid. Coal power.

Next up are rules due early next year dealing with coal-fired power plants. A number of other petitions from states and environmentalists are on EPA’s doorstep that press for climate-focused limits on petroleum refiners and other major industrial sources.

Senate and House Democrats from Virginia and West Virginia are trying to craft legislation to delay the EPA regulation for two years, however Obama is threatening a veto.

This is more bad news for our economy. Just as the drilling “moratorium” in the Gulf of Mexico will take years to turn around, constructing power plants takes years as well. And energy is the key to any economy. Even writers at Pravda (yes, that Pravda) understand:

That brings us to Cap and Trade. Never in the history of humanity has a more idiotic plan been put forward and sold with bigger lies. Energy is the key stone to any and every economy, be it man power, animal power, wood or coal or nuclear. How else does one power industry that makes human life better (unless of course its making the bombs that end that human life, but that’s a different topic). Never in history, with the exception of the Japanese self imposed isolation in the 1600s, did a government actively force its people away from economic activity and industry.

Even the Soviets never created such idiocy.

Of course Obama and Democrats “believe” that CO2 and is causing ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change’ (if we have a few unseasonably cool days). Of course, they cant put forth actual, testable proof that it is happening. All we get is “we believe it is happening” and “the only way to solve the problem is to funnel more money and more control to the federal government.”

Christopher Monckton puts things in to perspective nicely:
