Al Gore says we must end the carbon age within ten years, and the EPA has laid out the procedures for doing just that. In the Wall Street Journal:
In a huge document released last Friday, the EPA lays out the thousands of carbon controls with which they'd like to shackle the whole economy. Central planning is too artful a term for the EPA's nanomanagement. Thankfully none of it has the force of law -- yet.
For those of you who don't subscribe to the WSJ, the functionally retarded folks at the EPA propose such nonsense as controls on lawn and garden equipment, farm tractors, snowmobiles, and dirt bikes. It is proposing specific guidelines for the design of boat hulls and propellers, as well as how airplanes will be allowed to taxi on the runway. And still - old news - it wants to levy a carbon tax. And there's still the matter of the agency's concern over cow flatulence.
None of this is new or shocking. However, one thing we haven't had before is a President who is an extreme global waring alarmist. Barack Obama will be that guy should he be elected. Something about "serving a common purpose, a larger cause."
That guy will be the end, I tell ya.
