Barack Obama to veto bill that would stop the EPA from implementing cap and trade

Now that Harry Reid has taken the climate change legislation off of the table, and there will be no climate bill this year, Barack Obama is more then likely going to move forward with “Plan B” to regulate greenhouse gasses and carbon emissions.

A recent Supreme Court decision has given the EPA the right to regulate greenhouse gasses and as we speak they are beginning to write what amounts to climate change legislation.

Several Democrats from coal producing states are preparing to introduce legislation that would stop the EPA from implementing these rules for two years. We must not forget that as a candidate Barack Obama promised to bankrupt the coal industry, so it should come as no surprise that Barack Obama is promising to veto this legislation if it makes is to his desk.

This has always been the Obama regime’s backup plan in case cap and trade legislation failed in the House and Senate and now we are beginning to see “Plan B” move forward.

Cap and trade is not dead just because there will be no bill headed towards the president’s desk. Cap and trade is alive and well because the government is going to institute it regardless of what the proper political procedure is. Jay Rockefeller continues to push hard for the Democrats’ two year suspension of the EPA’s authority to implement climate change legislation because he believes– rightfully so– that congress should be setting national energy policy and not a federal agency.

The blame goes well beyond Barack Obama on this one, we owe all of this to a disastrous Supreme Court decision handed down by the Roberts’s court. None of this would be happening without that decision.

I don’t see any way that we can stop this from happening but it would be good to see the president act in good faith and sign a two year moratorium on the EPA in regards to climate change. But that is not going to happen, this is going to be forced down our throats against our will just like everything else that has happened under this president.

And it probably doesn’t matter much anyway because there probably isn’t much difference between what the EPA restrictions are going to be and what Barack Obama wants in climate change legislation. We are screwed either way. Here comes the national energy tax.

It is disconcerting to say the least that while the congress cannot come to a settlement on this issue using the proper forum of debate that a federal agency is going to be allowed to step right over the congress and implement a policy that congress could not agree on and the president did not sign.
