Op-Ed: Climate change is a big problem. Citizens must demand many small solutions (The Daily Signal, January 1, 2015)
In 2013, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The bill passed with a vote of 217-212 and became law.
Despite what environmentalists are saying, President Obama did not veto this bill.
The bill will help reduce the use of coal by more than 20 percent, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants by 15 percent.
Despite what the green lobby is telling everyone, President Obama did not veto this bill.
The Obama administration has proposed a more comprehensive set of policies, but only in the form of a “rule agenda” and a new website. There is no formal legislation. Obama has proposed to use his power as president to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
This set of proposals, however, is a far cry from the clean car regulation and clean power regulations Congress passed in the previous energy bill (2011).
This is not to say that the Obama administration has not taken steps. They have. The EPA has issued a proposed rule, and the EPA has actually begun to conduct the rule. This is in addition to the many other rules, regulations, and directives already in effect at the federal level.
Environmentalists, however, are upset because the EPA has released the proposed rule without much public comment. They don’t understand the role of the public and want to see more public input.
This proposed rule will be the EPA’s last major regulation of carbon dioxide. The agency wants to end all emissions standards. It will be the last step in the regulation of greenhouse gases. This new rule will not have any effect on car emissions. It will end all regulation of greenhouse gases, not just carbon dioxide.
The EPA is not the final arbiter in whether or not to regulate greenhouse gases. When it is up to the states to decide, the states will regulate greenhouse gases. The state of Arizona and the state of New York have already set up regulations for greenhouse gases.
