Congress Votes to Scrap Obama's Clean Power Plan (sciencemag.org)

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-clean-power-for-you dept.

sciencehabit writes with news that the House voted 242-180 to repeal the EPA's Clean Power Plan, and 235-188 to block EPA rules governing emissions from new power plants. Science reports: "Congress has voted, largely along party lines, to block a centerpiece of President Barack Obama's climate change agenda. The votes are largely symbolic, however, because Obama plans to veto the bills. Still, Congressional Republicans, and a few Democrats, say they want to send a message to global leaders who are meeting this week to negotiate a new climate agreement that the majority of U.S. lawmakers may not agree with any deal."

    You want a source for the fact that Warren Buffet bought Burlington Northern for $35 billion? Okay:

    For the fact that Buffet is a huge Obama donor?

    For the fact that Buffet's trains carry the bulk of the oil from where the pipeline ends?

    For some of Obama's donors getting millions and millions of taxpayer money and never producing a single solar panel?

    It's not that hard.
