EPA puts US airlines in their crosshairs
Looks like the statists are going after the airline industry. When will we end this bull?

The Obama administration took the first step Wednesday toward regulating airplanes’ greenhouse gas emissions, adding yet another major industry to the roster of businesses falling under the crosshairs of President Barack Obama’s environmental and climate agenda.

The EPA said it was proposing to declare that planes’ carbon pollution threatens public health and welfare by significantly contributing to climate change. The agency’s “endangerment finding” comes amid a flurry of activity by the EPA, which is also pushing ahead with a contentious regulation for wetland and waterways, preparing to tighten fuel efficiency standards for heavy trucks and nearing a midsummer launch for a landmark greenhouse gas rule for power plants.


“Just when I thought the EPA couldn’t get more ridiculous,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said on Twitter, linking to POLITICO’s coverage of the proposal. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a potential Republican presidential contender, tweeted: “Another high cost power grab by @BarackObama’s EPA.”

Seems to me if these liberals believe clean energy is their cause, how come none of them have invested any of their personal money to start a company or invest their money in research. OOOH spend tax payor money its cheaper that way and they don't have to count the waste.
