+5The EPA is one of the fine conservative ideas that originated in the early 1970's from Richard Nixon. It is truly strange to see the new rulers of the USA put so much effort in trying to eliminate the EPA and its function of trying to keep the citizens safe from those very same neo-con coporationalists that run things now.

At the present time China is building 1.5 coal fired plant per a week so we will never see the effect of shutting down ours and we are giving them an additional competitive edge on us. We need to sell our product to other nation in order to reduce our deficit. We can not do this by driving up the cost of manufacturing. So as your jobs go away I do not want to hear about it.

This will go a long ways towards forcing us into the new world order which is being pushed. Understand this that a new world currency is going to come in as well if the dollar is not strengthened. It may already be to late for the dollar as the Fed has flooded the market with some 9 trillion Dollars that can not be back by our economy. This has made the very people that have almost crashed our economy millionaires and billionaires.

11. No sexual scandals no moral embarrassment with a lewinsky. Shows positive personal family values. Loves and spends time with his children.
There are many more positive intelligent things he has done. Yes there are some things you don't like obviously. But ignorant comments like he's done nothing intelligent is Tea Party rhetoric of being presented with...

There are many more positive intelligent things he has done. Yes there are some things you don't like obviously. But ignorant comments like he's done nothing intelligent is Tea Party rhetoric of being presented with facts and ignoring them. A big one is that Reagan nominated over 30 people to positions while congress was not in session. Obama has done only 9 or 10. But he's a tyrant when he does. And then reagon is a hero who had alzeimers in office. That's why he couldn't recall anything.
Yup...after tens of billions being spent on the Yucca Mtn project, taxed away from all of the contributing states that currently have tons of nuclear waste ready to ship there... had to fund it… But blocking Yucca Mountain is real Change Harry Reid needed his folks to believe in.
We live in a dynamic universe and it's impossible to impose a static paradigm upon that reality. Please... read something from a scientific textbook that wasn't provided by your state's LibProg Enviro-commie Job Killing Government.
Proven Oil Reserves, as published by the CIA Factbook, 2009
"I AM a scientist" Really? I guess you must be one of Algore's grant writing scientists that depend on political favors and gov't largess to further your "unbiased" advocacies that bolster the scare tactic claims of our beloved "Ruling Class" of politicians.
My statement to RedKitty had to do with 'natural resources being finite' and its based upon Daniel Yergin's Pulitzer winning books "The Prize: the Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power" and its sequel: "The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World"
RedKitty's assumption is that the world's resources are finite, but it appears that more and more oil is being discovered and has become economically available as technology and efficient use of these resources have evolved. Even though China and now India are approaching consumption rates comparable to those of the U.S., there is more known oil, natural gas and coal reserves today than there was 30 years ago, even though the world is consuming energy at 5x the rate it was back then.
The first prediction that the world would run out of oil was in the late 1890s by one of John Rockefeller’s business partners that sold out his shares of Standard Oil... since then, the "run out of oil" gang of...

Read Yergin’s books and get back w/me.
BTW – my statement was that gov’t PROVIDES books… I didn’t claim that they WRITE books. The books that government schools place in the hands of their students typically tell only what government wants the children of the slaves to know. When you are running a plantation, you only teach the slaves how to do their work… you never want to teach them how to actually own their own plantation. After you finish reading Yergin… read “Atlas Shrugged”.
And don't forget the JOBS that they destroy...
The beaches along Santa Barbara CA have globs of oil washing ashore and all along its sea floor. All of it comes Naturally percolating up from the ocean bed along the California coast...enough to equal one Exxon Valdez sinking every three years.
And yet somehow, the world survives. Deal with it Red-Kitty.
If the EPA would impose cost benefit analysis along with their environmental investigations, I could see giving them a break. But they are more concerned with a snail darter in a dried up creek than they are with thousands of jobs in the central valley of California... in what was once the bread basket of our nation... and today, hundreds of family farms are bankrupt because the EPA won't allow irrigation to these farms and ranches.
Try again.
"IF THE EPA.." etc, etc.
They are also impeding oil operations in TX and the Keystone pipeline along with many other smaller operations all across the country.
As a prime example of their their regulatory tyranny, their ladder safety requirements contradict the OSHA requirements. Any outdoor business that uses ladders will be in violation of one or the other agency's regulations and subject to heavy, business crushing fines.
