From Fire Andrea Mitchell:

11:32 PM (5 minutes ago)James Inhofe report: EPA’s new “boiler rule” will cost America nearly 800,000 jobs!from Fire Andrea Mitchell! by adminKeep pushing that “green energy” mumbo jumbo Obama/Progressives! I think I’ve figured the whole progressive green economy thing. Destroy the country so that we can save everyone else from pollution! Yea that’s the ticket! Remember back in June when the EPA issued a proposal that would force industrial, commercial and institutional boilers and heaters to use “maximum achievable control technology”? The goal supposedly was to reduce harmful emissions that erode air quality and pose a public health risk. Well according to Fox News, Jim Inhofe released a scathing report Tuesday that he contends shows that the Environmental Protection Agency’s new proposed rule on cleaning up boilers nationwide could devastate America’s manufacturing base and imperil hundreds of thousands of jobs without providing any real public health or environmental benefits.






But the report found that the proposed rule, known as “Boiler MACT,” could put nearly 800,000 jobs at risk over requirements on commercial and industrial boilers, cement plans and ozone standards.



“Reducing emissions of mercury, hydrogen chloride and other hazardous air pollutants from commercial and industrial boilers is good policy,” the report reads. “But the manner in which EPA set standards to reduce those emissions is impracticable and costly.”
