... the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pursuant to a 2007 Supreme Court decision ['finding' CO2 to be a polutant {?!?}], has initiated steps toward bypassing the legislative process and regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act ...
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) is nothing less than the most costly, complicated, and unworkable regulatory scheme ever proposed:
• Under ANPR, nearly every product, business, and building that uses fossil fuels could face requirements that border on the impossible.Furthermore, the impact of ANPR on the overall economy, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), would be substantial:
• The overall cost of this agenda would likely reach well into the trillions of dollars while destroying millions of jobs in the manufacturing sector.
• Job losses are expected to exceed 800,000 in some years, and exceed at least 500,000 from 2015 through 2026 (note that these are net job losses, after any jobs created by compliance with the regulations--so-called green jobs--are taken into account.)The ANPR is clearly not in the best interests of Americans, and the EPA should not proceed to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and final rule based upon it.
• The job losses or shifts to lower paying jobs are substantial, leading to declines in disposable income of $145 billion by 2015 -- more than $1,000 per household.
