The EPA requirements besides not be related to any “real” need are really a part and parcel of the progressives plan and diminishing the living standard of Americans; their thought are that “we” must sacrifice so that there is more for the rest of the world. Their goal is really the reduction of resources in general and this is supported in the entertainment industry e.g. “Hunger Games.” Obama just cut emissions again in a deal with China that go beyond what is talked about here. Be prepared for brown outs and black outs that get progressively worse and generating capacity is reduced.
