West Virginia vs EPA

[Mike_Jones]

That said, there's the whole question of a federal administrative agency wielding power which no legislative action authorizes it to wield. Even if there exists law which authorizes these jack-booted actions the Constitution does not provide for congress to hand its law-making authority over to a federal administrative agency. This is the issue which this Supreme Court will use to decide that the EPA is overstepping its authority. Congress can't concede its authority to federal agencies.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion:

“Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible ‘solution to the crisis of the day,” Justice Roberts said. “But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme in Section 111(d). A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body.”

I can't wait to own the libs by breathing more polluted air.

This ruling wasn’t about polluted air. It was about CO2. You know, that stuff that mammals exhale.

 

[hammies]

So basically they said Congress needs to get its act together. Like that'll ever happen...

So you don’t believe that CO2 is a pollutant in high levels?

Duffy, with your permission, no. it's not.

Wow what a descriptive and well thought out response! Im totally convinced.

I'm not the one who placed himself in a positioin to prove a whacked-out theory.

Are you typically this confused by questions?

Not to be too pedantic but legally CO2 is considered a pollutant as ruled by SCOTUS in mass vs. epa 2007.

But also this recent ruling has broader implications re: coal/gas power plants and the EPA's ability to regulate them which, I hate to break it to you, release more pollutants than *just* CO2.

Duffy, with your permission, no. it's not.

LOL far far far from the strictest emission controls.

California - maybe, the US, not even fucking close. And yes, we're still #1.

Again.

You haven't got a fuckin clue what you're talking about - so don't bother pretending like you do.

The USA has the #1 emission standards on the planet.

This is fact.

Now go eat a sh!t sandwich, asswipe.

 

[manbearpig]

Highest standards on emissions but #2 emissions contributor.

lookout chi-nah!

Will anyone notice the ultimate irony when spontaneous abortions surge in WV because of the decline in water quality?

 

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

Part of my work is training people about the danger of their soda machine CO2 supply. The sh!t comes in liquid form in pressurized vessels. If it springs a leak it will fill the room with CO2 within seconds and kill everyone there.

Don't forget the genetic defects.

"Look out" for what?

China is building coal plants, dumbfuck.

Ooh someone’s feeling some pent up frustration today. Is that why you’re on your little tirade?

I’m aware of the legal definition.

 

[manbearpig]

I’m aware of the legal definition.

Are you?

No, it's the excess of stupidity suddenly being propagated by you and a few others here.

I feel it makes a select few of you here very deserving of insult due to your gross stupidity.
