Obama Unveils Major Climate Change Proposal
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."

It will cost us billions and is expected to have an effect that is within the statistical measuring error. What a deal. Of course this is from the guy who traded four high ranking enemy combatants for a deserter, so maybe he thinks it is a good deal. Please oh please can we elect an adult next time? Someone who has actually accomplished something other than getting elected?
How about the group that thinks it's lunacy to destroy the world's greatest economy for a difference of .01 degree of improvement?
If the United States cut its carbon emissions to zero, it wouldn't make much difference at all. Other countries don't seem to interested in committing economic suicide.
Legislature? Obama doesn't need any stinking legislature. He's Emperor Lameduck! He rules by executive order!

Well, acknowledging you are racist is a great start to improving yourself, Daemonik. Now you just need to work on being more tolerant and you will be happier.
