Lame Duck season

I am figuring a neat win for Romney -- people are tired of the lies and the bad economy and the polls and media are so in the tank for Obama that we are not getting accurate survey numbers. That being said, the next couple months are going to be quite the power-grab by Obama, especially the EPA. From The Washington Examiner:
November surprise: EPA planning major post-election anti-coal regulation
President Obama�s Environmental Protection Agency has devoted an unprecedented number of bureaucrats to finalizing new anti-coal regulations that are set to be released at the end of November, according to a source inside the EPA.

More than 50 EPA staff are now crashing to finish greenhouse gas emission standards that would essentially ban all construction of new coal-fired power plants. Never before have so many EPA resources been devoted to a single regulation. The independent and non-partisan Manhattan Institute estimates that the EPA�s greenhouse gas coal regulation will cost the U.S. economy $700 billion.

The rush is a major sign of panic by environmentalists inside the Obama administration. If Obama wins, the EPA would have another four full years to implement their anti-fossil fuel agenda. But if Romney wins, regulators will have a very narrow window to enact a select few costly regulations that would then be very hard for a President Romney to undo.
This was on the wind back in October when I wrote about their agenda and a couple days ago when I wrote about the large number of regulations sitting in the queue. Posted by DaveH at November 5, 2012 6:55 PM
