EPA preparing to unleash a deluge of new regulations
Happy holidays from the Obama administration. Federal agencies are currently working on rolling out hundreds of environmental regulations, including major regulations that would limit emissions from power plants and expand the agency�s authority to bodies of water on private property.
On Tuesday, the White House released its regulatory agenda for the fall of 2013. It lists hundreds of pending energy and environmental regulations being crafting by executive branch agencies, including 134 regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency alone.
The EPA is currently crafting 134 major and minor regulations, according to the White House�s regulatory agenda. Seventy-six of the EPA�s pending regulations originate from the agency�s air and radiation office, including carbon-dioxide-emission limits on power plants.
And it's not just CO2 (the gas of life) they are after:
�The EPA�s draft water rule is a massive power grab of private property across the U.S. This could be the largest expansion of EPA regulatory authority ever,� Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith. �If the draft rule is approved, it would allow the EPA to regulate virtually every body of water in the United States, including private and public lakes, ponds and streams.�
Our local county is
going after wells and other drinking water sources. Push back twice as hard -- these people work for us, not the other way around...
