Diabolical: Democrats Inserted Provision Into "Inflation Reduction Act" Giving EPA Right to Control Carbon Dioxide -- Which the Supreme Court Had Just Ruled It Did Not Have the Right to Regulate

The Supreme Court found that the EPA had no right to regulate carbon dioxide for the simple reason that Congress had never specified it had that power, and that power could not be "inferred" from the list of things it was given the right to regulate.

So guess what the Democrats snuck into the bill that no one had the chance to read?

Did Joe Manchin, hailing from a coal-mining state, know about this? Did he sell out his constituents, or was he just too stupid to notice they were taking him for a ride?

When the Supreme Court restricted the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency to fight climate change this year, the reason it gave was that Congress had never granted the agency the broad authority to shift America away from burning fossil fuels.

Now it has.

Throughout the landmark climate law, passed this month, is language written specifically to address the Supreme Court's justification for reining in the E.P.A., a ruling that was one of the court's most consequential of the term. The new law amends the Clean Air Act, the country's bedrock air-quality legislation, to define the carbon dioxide produced by the burning of fossil fuels as an "air pollutant."

That language, according to legal experts as well as the Democrats who worked it into the legislation, explicitly gives the E.P.A. the authority to regulate greenhouse gases and to use its power to push the adoption of wind, solar and other renewable energy sources.

"The language, we think, makes pretty clear that greenhouse gases are pollutants under the Clean Air Act," said Senator Tom Carper, the Delaware Democrat who led the movement to revise the law. With the new law, he added, there are "no ifs, ands or buts" that Congress has told federal agencies to tackle carbon dioxide, methane and other heat-trapping emissions from power plants, automobiles and oil wells.

This month, in the hours before the bill passed the Senate, Republicans waged a last-minute, mostly unsuccessful predawn battle to remove the language from the legislation. Later that day, the Senate approved the climate-and-tax bill by a vote of 51 to 50, along party lines, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tiebreaking vote.

So Manchin did know about it -- and he specifically voted to keep the provision in the law.

This is a huge provision. The EPA now has the right to make rules -- without the need for additional Congressional authorization -- about how much carbon dioxide any carbon-dioxide-producing engine or factory is allowed to produce.

And Joe Manchin made it happen.

Garbage hypothesis with no evidence to support it, unfalsifiable, with no reason whatever to think there is any departure from normal variation occurring.

And behold the sheer idiocy of the language - "landmark climate bill".

When do we get a "landmark gravity bill"? Or a "landmark tectonic activity bill"?

On top of an "inflation reduction" bill, I guess it's just more orwellian nonsense.

But, need I remind you, the mid-terms. Oh - what has been the GOP's "climate" offensive for this election? How they are offering a clear alternative to science-free, disastrous, galactically larcenous, totalitarian nightmare-enabling "climate" idiocy?

That playbook has worked for decades.

103 Go read #80 and continue down. This is being pushed by the manufacturers and the politicians, and it's been in the works for over a decade. I remember reading back around 2010 how manufacturers were saying they were switching their plants to all electric, and I remember thinking "WTF?"

This has been planned for a long time, and it's all driven by China. US buyers aren't determining sales or markets any more.

I'd wager there is something in the recent IRS bill that allows increasing emissions regulations to effectively ban gas engines soon. Someone just needs to read it now that it has passed. Not ban outright, BTW. Just make it so that no ICE cars can pass emissions tests.

Then she saw the answer; she saw the secret premise behind their words. With all of their noisy devotion to the age of science, their hysterically technological jargon, their cyclotrons, their sound rays, these men were moved forward, not by the image of an industrial skyline, but by the vision of that form of existence which the industrialists had swept away—the vision of a fat, unhygienic rajah of India, with vacant eyes staring in indolent stupor out of stagnant layers of flesh, with nothing to do but run precious gems through his fingers and, once in a while, stick a knife into the body of a starved, toil-dazed, germeaten creature, as a claim to a few grains of the creature's rice, then claim it from hundreds of millions of such creatures and thus let the rice grains gather into gems.

256 She had thought that industrial production was a value not to be questioned by anyone; she had thought that these men's urge to expropriate the factories of others was their acknowledgment of the factories value. She,born of the industrial revolution, had not held as conceivable, had forgotten along with the tales of astrology and alchemy, what these men knew in their secret, furtive souls, knew not by means of thought, but by means of that nameless muck which they called their instincts and emotions: that so long as men struggle to stay alive, they'll never produce so little but that the man with the club won't be able to seize it and leave them still less, provided millions of them are willing to submit—that the harder their work and the less their gain, the more submissive the fiber of their spirit—that men who live by pulling levers at an electric switchboard, are not easily ruled, but men who live by digging the soil with their naked fingers, are—that the feudal baron did not need electronic factories in order to drink his brains away out of jeweled goblets, and neither did the rajahs of the People's State of India.

268 In 1888 Grover Cleveland lost to Benjamin Harrison, claiming throughout the campaign that Harrison's free silver policy would destroy the economy.

From 1889 to 1892, Harrison's free silver policy destroyed the economy.

In 1892 Cleveland ran an "I told you so" campaign and handily won the presidency due to the high cost of imported goods.

This is going to be one of many shit sandwiches we are going to be forced to eat for the next 2.5 years. After that, if sanity regains the presidency, there are plenty of options to roll this back.

And if we don't regain the presidency, then you might want to work on learning Russian or Mandarin.

Government grew under Trump's first term. He didn't build the wall, didn't even fight for it in the omnibus spending bill. Just did what he usually did, get on Twitter.

I voted for him in 2020, and yep, he got screwed out of it. But he didn't fight then, either. It took Texas to file that argument in SCOTUS. Trump's lawyers went the mail in/dominion voting route.

The Dems have been the chess players: if Trump runs in 2024 they'll blame him for the bioweapon called the C19 vaccine. And they'd be right- WARP speed.

Trump is not the answer.

Trump tried to warn the press that there were other hazards besides Covid. And the press reacted in their usual REEEE-ing, hair-on-fire mode that he wanted to kill everybody with Covid by saying that there were hazards besides Covid.

403 Liberty Unyielding’s Hans Bader pegs the actual cost of Biden’s $300 billion college loan forgiveness initiative at more than $1 trillion. And that’s just the dollars.

As a result, many borrowers will pay only a trivial amount each month, and can stop paying anything at all after 10 or 20 years, no matter how much of their student loan balance remains. The remaining student loan balance will be written off, at taxpayer expense. That could eventually cost over a trillion dollars. It will also encourage colleges to raise tuition like crazy, because “under income-based repayment, your payments vary with your income, not the size of the loan.”

True. I'm already spending the zoomer's money.

The advise on the spousal retirement is good, if there is a large differential between what each of you made over the years. Mrs928 retired first and when I retired, they added another $700 to her monthly check.

Keep that under your hat. If they hear about it, they'll subsidize the post office until it happens.

Wait ... Isn't that what happens with those bundles of postal votes?

The Amish have bought all the fallow farms in my hometown. I went on vacation in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, of all places, and Amish have bought old farms there, too.

It makes me wonder why.

Because they have a lot of children amd THEY need farming land

Making money online is more than $15k just by doing simple work from home. I received $18376 last month. It's an easy and simple job to do and its earnings are much better than regular office jobs and even a little child can do this and earn money. Everybody must try this job by just use the info on this page..... www.worksful.com

415 Californicate will get rid of the gas stations. New York City has gotten rid of almost all of theirs in Manhattan (hint, hint, plebes!), as well as getting rid of most of the car lanes in favor of fucking bicycles and pedestrian "plazas" (on Broadway by Madison Square, e.g.). And charging close to $100 for parking in a garage overnight. And on and on....

So, what are we gonna do about it?

416 I am able to create $88/h to complete a few jobs on a home computer. I've never thought that its even achievable but my closest mate earning $17k only within five weeks simply working this leading project & she had convinced me to join Discover extra details by going following link.. http://www.salarycash1.com

417 Ace, and the article's author, are wrong about the SCOTUS case and the new change to EPA law. SCOTUS did *not* rule on whether carbon dioxide is a pollutant or not under the saw... but but the question aside to address the invented scheme to force coal powered plants to subsidize their "green" competitors in wind, solar, etc. via carbon offsets.
