Thread: EPA Official on How To Deal With Non-Compliant Companies

Are YOU living your life the way King Obama wants you to? He famously said in 2011,

"We can't drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times…and then just expect every other country is going to say OK.”

Then a couple of months later, when a man asked about high gas prices at a town hall meeting Obama replied, LAUGHING,

“If you’re complaining about the price of gas and you’re only getting 8 miles a gallon, you know, you might want to think about a trade-in.”

In 2008 Obama’s Energy Secretary Steven Chu said, “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to levels in Europe.” At that time, the price in Europe he was aspiring to was around $8/gallon.

If Obama’s rogue Environmental Protection Agency is allowed to continue unchecked, gas prices are going to rise significantly, but they will be the least of our worries when it comes to wrecking our economy and our way of life!

Obama’s EPA has generated 1,920 new regulations and you better believe you will feel their impact in your everyday life and in your bank account!

The EPA, of course, is as corrupt as they come. Former head Lisa Jackson used a fake email address so she could conduct business on the sly, without the public being able to request information under the FOIA (not that the administration is complying with these requests, anyway…it is the LEAST transparent administration in history).

Now, new chief McCarthy is acting in a similar manner and is actually facing a lawsuit by the Competitive Enterprise Institute over text messages she sent as an “alternative” to work-related communications.

A Senate report this week determined that Obama’s EPA has "pursued a path of obfuscation, operating in the shadows, and out of the sunlight.”

The Senate report concluded:

-"EPA’s leadership [has] abandoned the historic model of a specialized public servant who seeks to fairly administer the law and has instead embraced a number of controversial tactics to advance a secretive agenda.”

-"As Congress has raised questions about EPA’s lack of transparency, the agency has steadfastly ignored its constitutional obligation to subject itself to congressional oversight, apparently in an effort to prevent the public from knowing what is going on behind closed doors."

-"In one instance, it appears that EPA deliberately altered the date on a FOIA response to avoid the legal consequences of missing a deadline and then excluded this document from a FOIA production to avoid scrutiny and embarrassment.

-"[O]ur investigation has revealed that multiple high ranking officials have used non-EPA email accounts to conduct official agency business.

Obama’s appointees at the EPA are dodging the truth, furiously working to overhaul our entire culture based on sketchy climate change lies. This rogue political agency is bringing us a new world order. Congress needs to get on top of this situation, or what do we even need them for? Fax them now!

They are operating in the shadows so American citizens will not know they are handing down draconian regulations, taxes and fines and destroying the economy in the name of junk global warming science. They are a purely political arm of the Obama administration carrying out his agenda with absolutely no oversight or Congressional direction.

Why are we allowing a government agency to have this much power?

An assault on drilling. Businesses drowning in paperwork. Citizens crushed by taxes. Lost jobs. Yes, Obama believes his “green” energy policy is just what America needs!

Rep. John Barrasso (R-WY) wrote a Wall Street Journal opinion piece noting that “During President Obama’s first term, EPA policies discouraged energy exploration, buried job creators under red tape, and deliberately hid information from the public.”

And, could they be engaging in environmental terrorism? Barrasso noted that the EPA “has gathered personal information about tens of thousands of livestock farmers and the locations of their operations” which it then shared with environmental groups.

How ridiculous can it get? The EPA mandates that petroleum companies add 14 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol to gasoline—however, THIS BLEND DOES NOT EXIST outside of a lab. So the rogue EPA has mandated that unless companies use this NONEXISTANT MATERIAL, they will be fined. A court upheld a lawsuit on behalf of companies who argued that the reasoning was ridiculous—yet the EPA is ignoring that decision and going ahead and levying fines anyway.


The EPA’s dangerous Renewable Fuel Standards are also coming your way unless Congress gets busy repealing them. The RFS mandate requires that certain amounts of ethanol be blended with gasoline every year—but our fuel demand is decreasing as ethanol requirements are increasing.

That leaves us with biofuel blends known as E15 that will be so excessive they will damage our engines and void our warranties. The EPA knows this…but just as they know the cellulosic fuel blends they require are unavailable, they still don’t care. They are not an agency that lets science and reason get in the way of good politics.

The E15 blend can cause serious injury or DEATH! The automobile industry is warning us that our warranties will be voided because our vehicles can’t handle the new blend.

The initial reason for the RFS was to provide an environmentally better alternative to gasoline. However, the Natural Resources Defense Council said three years ago that “What the ethanol industry is actually producing today is causing more climate pollution than gasoline.” Only between 5 and 26 percent of the energy content of ethanol is renewable!

Even ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS are opposing the RFS, arguing that greenhouse gas emissions from ethanol production outweigh any benefits we could get from burning less gasoline! The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development concluded that, “The overall environmental impacts of ethanol and biodiesel can very easily exceed those of petrol and mineral diesel.”

The price at the pump has gone up dramatically, and high corn prices have hurt wheat and soy prices, and also farmers—all while we divert more than HALF of our corn supply into products OTHER THAN FOOD. The New York Times points out that we are producing more and more food for fuel and more people are going hungry.

Where is the Liberal outrage that the world is starving and we need to save humanity? The truth is, the Left doesn’t care about compassion if it doesn’t get them votes! Farming huge amounts of corn to put in our engines instead of into hungry bellies doesn’t warrant a story on the evening news if it doesn’t suit the GREEN, SUSTAINABLE, ENVIRONMENTAL AGENDA.

The EPA hands down decrees based on the climate change lie, harming our economy and innovation. On top of that, it is unbalanced by any other branch of government. We just have to take what they give us, unlegislated and without recourse.

Nevermind that Obama has made us a laughingstock around the world, nevermind that four brave Americans died in Benghazi on his watch, nevermind that the IRS is STILL going after conservative groups and veteran organizations, nevermind that the entire country is slowly being dragged into turmoil because of his healthcare overhaul. Nevermind all that. CLIMATE CHANGE is the big idea for this year and the EPA is going to play a huge part in implementing his agenda.

And finally, if you want to help the EPA do its job, DON’T BREATHE. The agency has, after all, declared the dangers of carbon dioxide. At some point, they will tax every breath you take.

A Reporter Tried to Ask the EPA Chief a Question; You’ll Never Guess What Happened Next

March 28, 2014 By Jennifer Burke

Ari Natter, renewables and energy efficiency reporter for Bloomberg BNA, tweeted today that he was detained by Capitol Hill police. His crime? He was simply doing his job. Natter attended the American Council On Renewable Energy conference to cover the event. EPA chief Gina McCarthy was a speaker. After she made her remarks, Natter attempted to ask her a question. After all, that is what reporters do. The content of the question was not disclosed in Natter’s tweets, but he did tweet about his experience of being detained. These tweets were picked up and reported initially by the Daily Caller. http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/28/re...ef-a-question/

Natter was detained while covering the American Council On Renewable Energy conference, where McCarthy spoke. Also speaking at the conference was Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a staunch supporter of green energy who regularly takes the Senate floor to sound the alarm on global warming.

McCarthy spoke about renewable energy issues, including the EPA’s proposal to cut back the amount of ethanol refiners are required to blend into gasoline annually to avoid economic calamity. She also talked about the Obama administration’s view that energy and environmental policy go hand in hand.

While the question asked by Natter that led to his detainment is not known, here is what he tweeted just prior to his ‘arrest’.

Ari Natter @AriNatter

Obama admin “remains committed to biofuels despite the fact that people have concerns about our proposal," @GinaEPA tells @ACORE. #REpolicy

10:21 AM - 28 Mar 2014

Natter was subsequently released after police checked with their superiors and ran a background check to determine if his press credentials were valid. They were, so they let him go.

Given the Obama administration’s scandals involving attacks on freedom of the press with the spying on of James Rosen; seizing the phone records of AP reporters; and his attempted plan to monitor news rooms, this latest incident will undoubtedly make one wonder about the future of a free press under an Obama presidency.

http://www.tpnn.com/2014/03/28/a-rep...happened-next/

It sounds like Obama and his administration are becoming very paranoid, but why? is it that they have so adversely divided this nation they fear that someone will make an attempt on their life? Sounds like it given the reaction experienced by this reporter. Perhaps they really know how divisive and despotic they have become and have reason to be fearful? Throughout history, all despotic regimes have become paranoid and abusive to their subjects and countrymen. Obama promised to have the most transparent presidency in history, really! It seems quite the opposite has happened and they become ever more paranoid as time rolls on! What are they hiding that makes them so fearful?

..

This was a message to all reporters to not ask tough questions. if I were a reporter I would wear it as a badge of honor, and would see if I could rack up a few hundred or so detainments. They want to play a game? Let's play. my next question would be, why was I detained for asking a difficult question?

..

It really won't make much difference if the administration puts a chill on the 4th Amendment because the majority of the supposed "watchdog" of the public interest has long ago abdicated their freedom to Obama. If this nation fails it will be a direct result of the loss of our free press! The 51% of uninformed voters has stayed uninformed for the past 5 years....DG.

..

Carney has already admitted that the WH "Press Corps" is given the questions they are required to ask prior to a "Press Convernce" - that is why he gets so flustered when someone goes "off script"

EPA Employees Pooping in Hallways
June 26, 2014 By Jennifer Burke

It looks like Obama’s EPA employees have not just too much time on their hands, but no amount of common sense or decency. In the past, they have been caught building man caves on EPA property, pretending to work for the CIA so that could vacation over and over again, and feeding their pornography addiction during work hours using taxpayer-funded computers. This latest revelation will leave a lot of people shaking their head just as it left many holding their nose.

Government Executive reports that the EPA is telling their employees to stop pooping in the hallway. http://www.govexec.com/federal-news/...hallway/87223/ Yes, you read that correctly. It is not a joke. EPA employees are defecating in the halls. In addition to defecating, they are clogging toilets with paper towels displaying such animalistic behavior that one would wonder how they ever got a job in the first place.

The low-class and nonsensical actions are taking place at the Region 8 office in Denver. Government Executive obtained an email in which Deputy Regional Administrator Howard Cantor begs employees to stop these disgusting actions.

Confounded by what to make of this occurrence, EPA management “consulted” with workplace violence “national expert” John Nicoletti, who said that hallway feces is in fact a health and safety risk. He added the behavior was “very dangerous” and the individuals responsible would “probably escalate” their actions.

“Management is taking this situation very seriously and will take whatever actions are necessary to identify and prosecute these individuals,” Cantor wrote. He asked for any employees with knowledge of the poop bandit or bandits to notify their supervisor.

Given the fact that Obama’s EPA announced recently that they are going to regulate cow farts. http://www.govexec.com/federal-news/...hallway/87223/ That’s an interesting goal from a group of people who can’t even make it to the bathroom to do a #2, instead doing their stinky business in the hallway.

"EPA" to Regulate Cow Farts
March 31, 2014 By Matthew Burke

In continuance with their obsession to push the junk science of global warming climate change, the Obama regime announced Friday that it is targeting the dairy industry with a new attempt to regulate cow farts, and thus reduce methane emissions, which have already significantly declined since 1990.

As part of its Global Warming Climate Action Plan, the Obama regime’s arbitrary goal is to reduce U.S. Dairy “greenhouse gas emissions” by 25% by 2020.

As The Daily Caller reports: http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/28/wh...limate-agenda/

The Republican Party is dead from the neck up. They have no heart, really. They don’t know what to do. They don’t know what a narrative is. They don’t know how to establish a narrative, or fight for one, or get out in front of a story and stay there.

Leadership… is far and few between today. You don’t have any leaders at all, and you’re certainly not going to go look for them in the Republican Party, that’s for sure.

Environmentalists have been pushing the Obama administration to crack down on methane emissions for some time, arguing that they drive global warming and pollute the air and water. Activists have argued that the methane leakage rate from natural gas operations is 50 percent higher than the EPA estimates.

“President Obama’s plan to reduce climate-disrupting methane pollution is an important step in reining in an out of control industry exempt from too many public health protections,” Deborah Nardone, campaign director of the Sierra Club’s Keeping Dirty Fuels in the Ground campaign. “However, even with the most rigorous methane controls and monitoring in place, we will still fall short of what is needed to fight climate disruption if we do not reduce our reliance on these dirty fossil fuels.”

Republicans and the oil and gas industry argue that the methane leakage rate has been estimated to be 50 times lower than the EPA’s estimate. The GOP argues that the EPA’s estimate is simply an attack on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.

“The EPA has been on a witch hunt to shut down hydraulic fracturing, and yet again the evidence doesn’t back up their excessive claims,” said Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter. “All too often we see the Agency using flawed science for political purposes, but this report – partially funded by environmental activists no less – shows EPA’s emissions estimates from hydraulic fracturing are way off.”

Here's the outrage du jour: the EPA claims it can garnish your wages without a court order.
Didn't Americans once have a revolution against taxes imposed without our consent?
