If you don’t have time to read this letter from Rep. Joe Barton, or watch the video below:
…let me summarize:
- In April of 2009 the EPA declared that “that greenhouse gases contribute to air pollution that may endanger public health or welfare.” The list of gases includes CO2.
- This could potentially “allow the EPA to regulate carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act.” The administration is well aware of just how badly this would go over, which is why they tried to downplay it.
- However, it turns out that back in March of 2009 someone in the EPA itself tried to get new information that might affect the finding’s results… and was shut down cold, and was blithely told that political considerations were involved.
- Rep. Barton – and other Republicans on the House Energy Committee – would like further details on that situation, and how it might relate to the EPA’s actions in general. To put it mildly.
I know that my advice might seem suspect to Congressional Democrats, but really: this would be probably a lot less of an issue if the current majority party wasn’t so determined to rush pell-mell into a radical new energy policy. Just saying.

My (combined) wish list.
This is perfect timing ...

If Pelosi goes ahead with the vote, the House GOP should go ballistic. Don’t hold much hope for the Senate.
Hmmm...I'm a news junkie and for some reason I haven't seen this

Oh, and that last video clip, listen to it. It is priceless at 3:58.

Chemical Sam (Diary) Thursday, June 25th at 9:49PM EST (link)…all because there’s money and power coming to them for it, at the cost of all other considerations. It’s the classic.
This has happened to me. This has happened to many others I know. Most everyone else I know in the workplace have been the source of the problem. I’ve seen companies fall, and quickly, because of this “tyranny of the mind”, what Barton, through Jefferson, so eloquently branded it as. This is usually the work of people that spend their time gaining power they were never qualified to harness. Barack Obama Nancy Pelosi, and Al Gore are perfect examples of such villanous people.
Criterion Chemical was in the black for FY2010!
Not bad considering the forces arrayed against small business these days.
Let’s see about actually making some serious profit this year. Shameless capitalism, by:

Villianous people
CarolT (Diary) Thursday, June 25th at 10:30PM EST (link)There is not one dem with a brain in power. Pelosi has air in her head, if she was so worried about global waming, she wouldn’t demand a private jet. She’s making a huge carbon footprint.
They are all dirty, corrupt politicians. I know, I live in MA and was shocked when I called my congressman’s office, Ed Markey (co–sponsor) of it and the woman told me she’s getting calls 50% for 50% against. I told her it would cost her money, she said it would save us money. I told her it would create lost jobs, she believes it will create jobs. I can’t fight with them, just told her I was against this and Obamacare.
