>>Believe me, I will be a victim too. You are short sighted. Probably you look >>on Mr Inhofe from voters’

No. I simply accept the fact that I’m an adult and just because someone has a different opinion that me, particularly regarding politics or the environment, doesn’t make me a “victim.” There’s no “too” involved here. I’m NOT a victim.

>>Apropos my “BTW”. I was afraid my comment would be not approved >>hence my remark to moderator. Did I do something wrong?

Once again showing your aparent propensity to see your self as a victim. No moderator *here* (unlike at many of the pro-AGW sites) has ever failed to post a comment simply because they didn’t agree with it or thought it was out of place. Over-the-top ad hominem, vicious attacks, etc. do get moderated out – and thank you moderators!

The Wall Street Journal (Editorial), 9/3/09

Cap and trade may be flopping around like a dying fish in Congress, but the Obama Administration isn’t about to let the annoyance of democratic consent interfere with its climate ambitions.
The White House is currently reviewing the Environmental Protection Agency’s April “endangerment finding” that as a matter of law CO2 is a pollutant that threatens the public’s health and must therefore be subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act. Such a rulemaking would let the EPA impose the ossified command-and-control regulatory approach of the 1970s across the entire economy, even if Democrats never get around to passing a cap-and-tax bill.
Because the act was never written to apply to today’s climate neuroses, clean-air regulation is based on an extremely low threshold for CO2 emissions that will automatically transfer hundreds of thousands of businesses into the EPA’s ambit. The agency is required to regulate sources that emit more than 250 tons of a given air pollutant annually, which may be reasonable for conventional pollutants like NOX or SOX.
But this is a very low limit for ubiquitous CO2, and so would capture schools, hospitals, farms, malls, restaurants, large office buildings and many others. To exempt these sources, the tailoring rule unilaterally boosts the rule for greenhouse gases from 250 tons to 25,000 tons, an increase of two orders of magnitude.
Well, well. In a speech in February, Obama EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson ridiculed those of us who warned about these consequences, saying that it was “a myth” that “EPA will regulate cows, Dunkin’ Donuts, Pizza Hut, your lawnmower and baby bottles. . . . Somebody said to me today, ‘kittens,’ I like that one.” Her routine got a big laugh from the like-minded Georgetown audience, but the new draft rule is a flat-out admission that the critics are right.
The Supreme Court said nothing that would let the EPA simply decide on its own to apply the law to some unfavored business while giving others a pass. And the Clean Air Act is explicit about the 250-ton threshold. Team Obama’s real motive in “tailoring” this rule is to limit the immediate economic impact of carbon limits to head off a political backlash.
But even businesses that do get a pass shouldn’t rest too easily. The green lobby will quickly sue to force the EPA to enforce fully its own rules and go after all carbon sources. And why not? The Obama Administration is deliberately flouting its own legal claims for political reasons. Its cynical political hope is that if Congress won’t impose cap and tax, the courts will do it anyway.

Start looking for a hand pushed lawn mower and get ready to scrap your barbeque grills!

“EPA to declare CO2 a dangerous pollutant, regulate ghg emissions”

“If that occurs, it would take the heat off the Senate to pass Waxman-Markey, allow Obama a graceful way to back down on passing W-M, allow Obama to go to Copenhagen with something to show the US is taking action, and give more time before something irrevocable happens (because the EPA’s regulation would be tied up in the courts for years)”.

Obama has openly threatened EPA rule-making to drive the legislation he desires. That threat only has value to strong-arm legislators so long as it is not implemented. Once implemented, the heat is off the legislators. Taking on the EPA in court over carbon restrictions, if the legislators balk and it comes to that, will be an uphill fight. The critical battle was already lost when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that CO2 was subject to EPA regulation. Getting that one reversed will “take some doing”.

On the bright side, by the time the issue is revisited by the Court, I expect those justices to be shivering in their long-Johns under those black robes and that may sway their judgment a bit. However, getting an injunction to delay EPA implementation in the meantime may not be possible.

The climate bill has to be defeated in the Senate and the EPA plans must be fought in US Court.

I’m not “Robert,” and you didn’t read the rest of my item carefully either. What I said was that “If that occurs”–i.e., if the EPA declares CO2 a pollutant–then “it would take the heat off the Senate to pass Waxman-Markey, [etc].” And it would.

So seeing how Climate Change has morphed to Health Care change, and the dreaded socialistic takeover of the world, I take it those opposed to “socialized medicine” are
1. Too young for Medicare or
2. Too rich for Medicaid or
3. Have rejected participation in Medicare and Medicaid (and their pinko counterparts everywhere) on matters of principal and in efort to save the world.
A show of hands please-who posting has rejected their eligibility ?

How about “don’t want to join a scheme that is going broke”?

In other words: we guarantee your eligibility to a plan that will not be able to pay for your health care. Sign up at once before this golden opportunity passes you by. For a limited time only – no one will be refused. “”"

My needs are very simple:- I’ll have what they are having.

Let the Congress and administration come up with a socialized medicine plan for ALL US Government workers from the CIC, the Congress, and the Supremes, on down to all the Government Union workers, the Veterans administration, and the armed forces.

So they can roll out that plan and be the guinea pigs that work out the bugs in the system, till they get it right. Then once they have it fixed to their liking, they can have open enrollment for US ordinary Americans to sign up for THEIR plan.

Americans who care about this country’s future should make a point of keeping Senator Inhofe fully informed of their concerns about the pseudo science that is at the root of all this taxing madness; and in addition they need to keep their own legislators know that they will be buying a one way ticket to the streets, if they try to foist this foolishness onto the American taxpayers.

As for committee chairman; Madam Barbara (bouncer) Boxer; who can’t even balance her own checkbook; California voters should send her packing; it would be nice if she went back to New York or wherever it was that she germinated.

Thank you Senator Inhofe; you can be MY Senator; since I get no representation from the two dingalings that Californaia sent to Washington.

I know just what you mean. The deviousness is astounding. They keep saying they have no proof of leprechauns either. And yet we know that there is a huge leprechaun cover up going on precisely because there is no proof of it. See how devious things can get? How do I know a cover up is going on? Every one has heard of leprechaun. So much so that there is a word for them.

I think every one who is afraid of vaccination should avoid getting them. Just to thin the herd. Given the relative magnitude of the problems: disease vs potential autism I know which risk I’d rather assume or impose on dependent minors.

the Czech Republic sold electricity for about 3 cents per kWh in 2002.
Since the price has gone up because of privatisation and EU-rules, and they were accused of dumping in the 1990′s, and Temelin was highly controversial in Austria, a price of 1.5 cents seems possible.
Among the exporters France leads with 68 billion kWh per year, CZ is 6th with 25, and the USA 8th with 20.
