Obama Unveils Major Climate Change Proposal

Posted by samzenpus on Monday August 3, 2015 @10:52AM from the it's-getting-hot-in-here dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Two years in the making, President Obama formally unveiled his plan to cut power plant emissions today, calling it the "single most important step that America has ever made in the fight against global climate change." The "Clean Power Plan" includes the first ever EPA standards on carbon pollution from power plants. CNN reports: "Under the plan, the administration will require states to meet specific carbon emission reduction standards, based on their individual energy consumption. The plan also includes an incentive program for states to get a head start on meeting standards on early deployment of renewable energy and low-income energy efficiency."

And I'll believe it as soon as the people proposing to tax me into oblivion to give to their campaign donors to "solve the problem" live in houses the size of mine, using the same electricity amounts I do, and stop flying private jets everywhere.
Al Gore already admitted that he lied in pushing for ethanol from corn for votes in his presidential run. Hilary has already taken $300 million in bribes for favours from the State Department she ran. Obama has lied countless times to the American public.
Sorry, your heroes are shit and I'm not sure why I should listen to them or anyone who claims I need to listen to them.
