Cap-and-Trade: Environmental Protection Agency
Undaunted by the People’s voice in Congress, Obama turned to White House Climate Czar Carol Browner to pass greenhouse gas regulations through the backdoor at the Environmental Protection Agency. President Obama is using unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats in executive agencies to accomplish something that could not pass through the legitimate democratic process.
In the 1990s, Browner hatched a legal theory that the 1970 Clean Air Act (CAA) could be used to regulate greenhouse gases, something it was never designed or intended to do. The CAA is a blunt instrument that would inflict the costly and time consuming EPA permitting process on millions of entities that have never been covered before. EPA’s proposal would regulate churches, hotels, schools, apartment buildings, single-family homes, planes, trains, buses, farm equipment, and even lawn mowers.
It is even possible that EPA could use the Clean Air Act to impose a cap-and-trade tax.
Only Congress can stop the EPA power grab.
