The President of the United Mine Workers of America talks tough about EPA chief Lisa Jackson.
MetroNews reports:
The President of the United Mine Workers of America says the regulation of carbon emissions from coal is not just an American issue.
“You have to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions throughout the world. You can’t just regulate them through the EPA of the United States,” Cecil Roberts said on Tuesday’s MetroNews Talkline.
Roberts says he thinks the federal Environmental Protection Agency is exceeding its authority with proposed new regulations for required greenhouse gas limits for all new coal fired power plants.
He says those limits will shut down the development of new plants since the levels cannot be reached without the help of carbon carbon technology. That technology is not yet widely available.
“Coal is the fastest growing energy source in the world and they’ve decided, at the EPA, well, we’re going to control what goes into the atmosphere worldwide by halting the construction of coal fired facilities in the United States,” Roberts said.
“It doesn’t work, for one thing, and, the second thing, it is just devastating for our economy.”
The EPA is now accepting comments on the proposed new emissions limits which, if finalized, would be 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt hour of power produced.
When they were released last week, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said the regulations are necessary.
She said the following: “Right now, there are no limits to the amount of carbon pollution that future power plants will be able to put into our skies and the health and economic threats of a changing climate continue to grow.
But Roberts says Jackson’s EPA will kill the U.S. coal industry with the move.
“The Navy SEALs shot Osama bin Laden in Pakistan and Lisa Jackson shot us in Washington,” he said.
He probably DID think they were “kidding”. Nobama will allow his people, OUR workers, to mine coal in China, which has a very weak EPA, if one at all. Leesa JerKson didn’t shoot them, though. Leesa is Nobama’s Head of the EPA, NOBAMA “shot” them(–Leesa’s just the “rifle”), and he’s going to shoot them again, and again, because, un-like Romney that would let them mine and mine, Nobama won’t even let them mine uranium, which produces NO CARBON, because Nobama (and his Masters, Sore-Os and Bilderborgers, do NOT WANT the USA to HAVE an economy, because if the economy’s booming, the miners won’t be DEPENDENT on the Demoncrats. But that’s NOT the worst of it. The miners,–God Bless them, THINK they can vote for Romney when the time comes, and get him to change the situation, but Romney, even if he gets 90% of the vote, will NOT WIN! The first reason he won’t win, is because SCYTL, a foreign Socialist vote-counting firm in Spain, imo, will be “hacked-into (–its reportedly happened before–maybe it was SELECTED because it COULD be hacked into?)”, and 9 out of 10 votes FOR Romney will be reversed into 1, while 1 vote for Nobama would turn into 9 for him, so Nobama will be returned to the Presidency, where, imo, he will continue his “war” against coal ( and oil, & gas & uranium & gold & silver & rare earths–mining, PERIOD), until the mining companies go overseas, or sell their assets for scrap. Nobama will “Win” in a “landslide”, so that mandates No more mining. GOT IT? Oh, yeah, the 2nd reason Romney won’t win, even though he would benefit everybody if he did, is because the Globalists CONTROL BOTH parties, plus everybody fears Nobama, the “Economic Caligula” of our era–even the Supreme Court who could overturn everything he’s done, so the Demoncrats will have control here forever, Anouncing they are the Communist Party,–the USA soon to be a Soviet-style Socialist State. I PRAY that I’m WRONG! PS. O’Bama-care will be up-held by the Supremes, because the Conservatives on the Court don’t want their houses to be picketed, as Rush says will happen, if they were to kill it, because it IS un-constitutional. O’Bamacare has in it, that we all will be “chipped”(GPS-device), if we ever want care, so there’s the “Mark of the Beast”, imo. By the way, Nobama HATES our constitution, he was lying when he said he’d defend it, imo. Milloy is controlled by the govt, imo, my posts get removed routinely.
Want to bet whom he actively supported the last election? Did he think they were kidding?
