Default Senators Want to Bar E.P.A. Greenhouse Gas Limits

WASHINGTON — In a direct challenge to the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority, Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, introduced a resolution on Thursday to prevent the agency from taking any action to regulate carbon dioxide and other climate-altering gases. Ms. Murkowski, joined by 35 Republicans and three conservative Democrats, proposed to use the Congressional Review Act to strip the agency of the power to limit emissions of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. The Supreme Court gave the agency legal authority to regulate such emissions in a landmark 2007 ruling.

Sounds like a real important thing to go out of your way to do.

You breath out garbage? The necessary gas for plant life to exist is garbage?

Do you comprehend at all what giving this power to the EPA, which without review from citizens through the congress, could set any limits in wants without regard to the repercussions would do?

Do you realize how this is just politics? Who's work are they doing? Who would like to see limits disappear? Nobody?

you're right Mikeyy it's just politics. The dems can't get cap and trade one way so they will let the EPA do the dirty work for 'em thereby screwing the American people once again!

The EPA tells the energy comapny's that they have to clean up their acts more than they already have and who will foot the bill? THE PEOPLE WILL!

Geez Mikey, you're being awfully obtuse lately!
