- THE EPA DELIVERS “UNWANTED PRESENT” FOR CHRISTMAS
The Cornwall Alliance Warns Christians EPA Regulations Do Not Carry a Pro-Life Banner
(December 21, 2011)
(December 22, Washington, DC)—“Yesterday the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave Americans a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings,” said Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, National Spokesman of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. “The unwanted present? A likely 11.5 percent hike in electricity rates, costing the average household more than $160 extra next year.”
The gift came in the form of EPA’s newly announced Utility MACT (Maximum Achievable Control Technology) rule setting new restrictions on mercury emissions from power plants. EPA estimated the new rule would cost the economy $9.6 billion per year. CA
- Bi-Partisan Congressional Measures to Stop EPA Power Grab
(March 29, 2011)
Bi-Partisan Congressional Measures to Stop EPA Power Grab on Greenhouse Gas Regulation Could Prevent Energy Prices Increases, Job Losses, and Constitutional Crisis
(March 28, 2011, Washington, DC)—The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation is keeping an eye on Sen. Mitch McConnell’s amendment to a small-business technology bill expected to come to a vote this week. The amendment would prohibit the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG) to prevent alleged dangerous manmade global warming. The amendment is identical to bills pending in the House and Senate with bipartisan sponsorship by a combined 116 members of Congress.
According to Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, National Spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance, “The bi-partisan support for these measures reveals the sense of Congress that EPA’s regulating carbon dioxide threatens the Constitutional separation of powers.”
Following the failure of cap-and-trade legislation in the last Congress after the scientific case for dangerous manmade global warming collapsed, the Administration turned to the EPA to do what Congress refused to do. It thus put unaccountable bureaucrats in charge of enforcing the most intrusive regulations ever imposed on the American economy.
“The potential damage from EPA regulation of carbon dioxide emissions is enormous,” Beisner said. “Energy prices would skyrocket, driving up costs for food, shelter, transportation, and everything else consumers need. Businesses would face dramatic permitting costs, and employment would plummet. . . .” CA
