A federal employee named Bob recently called our local radio station and was outraged by the fact that a failed budget agreement could cause the government to suspend the activities of the government, which would deprive him of the possibility of paying bills. He blamed the Republicans, he did not mention that the compromise also applies to Obama and Democrats, and omitted another vital detail: if the activity is suspended, after its completion he would receive remuneration with reverse power.
However, when he and his colleagues bureaucrats impose mountains of regulations, they cost companies billions of dollars a year, they cause the loss of millions of jobs and make thousands of families and hundreds of communities to make ends the end in a worse situation. These People Never obtain remuneration with retrospective power.
Obama/EPA war with coal caused the closing of power plants and mines in dozens of states, leaving thousands of unemployed. It’s a left truck and equipment manufacturersTools, steel smelters and other suppliers – from Kentucky to Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Wisconsin and on – are fighting for finding customers. This affects restaurants, grocery and clothing stores, schools, hospitals and other companies: each lost position in mining or power plant affects four jobs in other sectors of our extensive economy.
Limited wells caused by low oil and gas prices and the developing EPA and Big Green war with natural gas deepen these problems. The same applies to the Pandora can of other federal regulations: the financial regulations of Obamacare, Dodda-Franka and Fatca, as well as the seemingly endless environmental protection agency (EPA) dictating soot and dust, puddles and streams, carbon dioxide and other alleged problems, often in order to obtain negligible or imaginary benefits.
Compliance with federal regulations already costs American companies and families over $ 1.9 trillion annually, and EPA itself will incur an additional $ 100 billion fresh costs this year.
EPA does not want to calculate how many workplaces in the private sector killed or prevented their creation, or how much financial, physical and mental health people were tarnished when they were unemployed and unable to pay bills. No bureaucrat was also held responsible for provisions based on ideological programs, junk science or even on open fraud, or for the abuse of their power to prosecute conservative groups (IRS) or even members of the Congress (secret services).
And now Epa has threw us another extremely costly final rule – then ozone.
Just 18 years ago, the agency reduced the permissible level of ozone in an atmosphere to 84 parts per billion (equivalent to 84 cents from $ 10,000,000). In 2008, Bush Epa again lowered this standard to 75 ppb. But Obama Epa was not satisfied. In 2009 he announced that he would lower the standard to 70 or even 60 parts per billion.
However, such action would be a political nuclear bomb, which is why the White House postponed this decision after the 2012 election. Then, as part of the next lawsuit as part of the collusion between EPA and irate ecologists, EPA promised to finalize work on the fresh recipe until October 1, 2015.
Now the agency “has compromised” at 70 ppb. AND Business Round Table The study showed that almost every county in the US met an ozone standard of 84 ppb, and 90% met the 75 ppb standard. The 60 ppb principle would cover 96% of these counties inconsistent with the regulations, But even the 70 ppb rule will lead to many non -compliance. Will hit energy production, production and shale gas extractionand raise electricity prices.
To understand how draconian it is Great Canyon National Park it is now out of reachat 72 ppb. It is similar with the Mammoth Cave National Park – 75 PPB, the Rocky Mountain National Park – 77 and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park – 79. Yellowstone, e.g. is barely below the fresh level of EPA suspension of 66 ppb.
This is because volatile organic compounds that are precursors of ozone do not come only from refineries, power plants, factories, cars and other sources of hydrocarbons. Come from volcanoes, sizzling sources and trees: deciduous trees emit LZO on sizzling, clear days; Coniferous trees emit them day and night. They also come from “pure, green” ethanol. New Noaa test They discovered that ethanol refineries emit up to 30 times more LZO than originally assumed and 170 times more than when burning ethanol in cars.
EPA does not mention these uncomfortable truths. He says that the fresh standard will cost “only” $ 3.9 billion a year. This deliberately muffled and unexpected number does not even go through the laughter test. This is only a few miles from the National Association of Producers and other analyzes that have calculated that the Ozone Stand at 65 PPB would reduce America’s economic production by $ 140 billion a year and would cost a loss or not to create $ 1.4 million jobs a year for 25 years. The reality for 70 ppb is like that far Closer to us than EPA.
The elementary fact is that the 70 ppb rule of ozone is another rock pushed into the pocket of a drowning man. Last month, 142,000 fresh jobs were created. Over 40 million Americans are unemployed, part -time employed or gave up finding a job. Over 47 million are on food cards. The professional activity rate dropped to 62.4%in September, the lowest level from October 1977, with just 34.5-hour work week.
That is why EPA now spreads alleged health benefits. The fresh rule will reduce the number of asthma attacks among children and save life – says the agency. Nonsense. As a doctor explains Charles BattigThe fresh standard will only save theoretical is alive. Apparently, fewer deaths related to ozone will take place “in a computer -generated fantasy world, where torture of epidemiological data is carried out with bits and bytes, and not in admission documents to the hospital of real patients.”
In the world of EPA, theoretically surviving life is invented using higher levels of pollution A few decades from several decadesWhile ozone and other air pollution actually had an impact on human health. Incorrect data is entered into a number of computer models to generate “garbage garbage” calculations, which are used to justify regulatory edicts.
However, in the real world, aggregated ozone emissions, solid particles (soot), carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and lead fell by 63% from 1980. Refinery emissions In the years 1990–2013 the emission of volatile organic compounds was reduced by 69%, it is expected that over the next decade, the emissions forming ozone will fall by another 36%, and the level of ozone in the mundane layer dropped from 2000 by the national average of 18%. Meanwhile, asthma indicators reported risen – But not because of pollution.
Today’s children probably have it more asthma attacks because They spend more time in closed rooms, less time outside in dirt and are not exposed to enough allergens in childhood to reduce immunological hyperactivity and allergic hypersensitivity. It is easier to react to exposure to allergens, which in previous generations would cause little reaction. Cold air can also cause asthma attacks, as is a higher level of pollen and fungal spores, and perhaps a low -fat diet, which reduces the layer of surfactants in the lung tissues.
In miniature, ozone appearing at the level of national parks is not a scare, as EPA claims. However, the fresh regulations will affect many states, counties, cities, industry branches and projects related to the safety of highways, which will lose federal funds, because natural sources, local emissions, and even LZO from China escalate ozone levels above 70 ppb.
EPA claims that “only” 358 counties throughout the United States will be pushed to a level unacceptable by the arbitrary fresh standard. But even this is too much and another 1,500 counties can be threatened if EPA begins to monitor the level of ozone in these countries. This will affect the creation and maintenance of jobs, especially in metropolitan areas.
National Association of Producers, National Black room Of Commerce, American Association of Blacks in Energy, owners and company leaders, mayors, governors, legislators, are members of the congress and experts for health and road traffic, asked EPA to maintain the standard of 2008.
As the president of diminutive enterprises and entrepreneurship Karen Kerrigan They noticed, indicated that areas such as Chicago, Gary and Denver, with a enormous population of the impoverished and minorities, will lose tens of thousands of jobs, the average revenues of households will fall by hundreds of dollars a year and will be forced to spend billions of dollars to adapt to the fresh standard. It would be health and well -being of people decreaseThey emphasized, instead of correcting. Kerrigan’s regulatory solutions were provided many other facts.
EPA ignored them all, again presented false statements about health benefits and imposed fresh, high-priced standards.
Interested parties should submit lawsuits to prevent EPA from enforcing a fresh provision, the courts should block the regulation, and the congress should remove EPA financing in order to implement this program harmful to the health.
