From Fire Andrea Mitchell:
Obama regime pushing new backdoor Cap and Trade tax
Isn’t that how it’s always done with Obama and the rest of the progressive liberal Democrats? One thing that progressives have mastered is bribing, making deals behind closed doors, and finding ways of screwing the America people in the dark of night. According to Newsmax, the Obama regime is taking action on its own, despite the fact Cap and Trade didn’t pass in the 111th Congress, and certainly wouldn’t in the 112th Congress. Starting Jan. 2, authorities will consider greenhouse gases when approving emission levels for large new industrial plants.
The federal Environmental Protection Agency announced on Dec. 23 that it would go a step further starting in 2012 by setting greenhouse gas standards for power plants and petroleum refineries — which together account for nearly 40 percent of the emissions blamed for climate change.
But Obama can expect even more hostility to his climate agenda starting in January, when the rival Republican Party takes charge of the House of Representatives.
Representative Fred Upton of Michigan, the Republican who will head the new House Energy and Commerce Committee, said the United States should be “working to bring more power online, not shutting plants down” to protect jobs.
“We will not allow the administration to regulate what they have been unable to legislate,” Upton said.
