Obama Regime's EPA Issues Global Warming Rules, Then Issues GE An Exemption

from Gateway Pundit:

Feb 3, 2011 (13 hours ago)Obam issues global warming rules January gives GE exemptionfrom Charging Elephant by divingnews@gmail.com


Washington Examiner



Jefferey Immelt has been CEO of GE since September 2007. He is corrupt, his company knowingly sold good to Iran against federal law following 9-11. He now gets an exemption from Obama for his onerous idiotic rules on global warming? They both would serve their country and their company well by stepping down immediately. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C.



Last month, the Obama EPA began enforcing new rules regulating the greenhouse gas emissions from any new or expanded power plants.



This week, the EPA issued its first exemption, Environment & Energy News reports:



Maybe GE CEO Jeff Immelt’s closeness to President Obama, and his broad support for Obama’s agenda, had nothing to do with this exemption. But we have no way of knowing that, and given the administration’s record of regularly misleading Americans regarding lobbyists, frankly, I wouldn’t trust the White House if they told me there was no connection.


The Obama administration will spare a stalled power plant project in California from the newest federal limits on greenhouse gases and conventional air pollution, U.S. EPA says in a new court filing that marks a policy shift in the face of industry groups and Republicans accusing the agency of holding up construction of large industrial facilities.



According to a declaration by air chief Gina McCarthy, officials reviewed EPA policies and decided it was appropriate to “grandfather” projects such as the Avenal Power Center, a proposed 600-megawatt power plant in the San Joaquin Valley, so they are exempted from rules such as new air quality standards for smog-forming nitrogen dioxide (NO2).



There’s something interesting about the Avenal Power Center:



The proposed Avenal Energy project will be a combined-cycle generating plant consisting of two natural gas-fired General Electric 7FA Gas Turbines with Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) and one General Electric Steam Turbine.







On the upside, at least Job Czar Immelt is creating jobs!
