The cost of going green

Neal Boortz  "For a man who claims that his administration is focused on creating jobs, Barack Obama sure is doing his best to destroy them.  He is doing this by imposing more government regulations and placing impossible demands on industries to produce products, regardless of the law of supply and demand."

Fed standards may swell prices by $10K, cut 260K jobs by '25  "Sharply higher fuel efficiency standards by 2025 could force vehicle prices up by nearly $10,000, reduce sales by 5.5 million vehicles annually and eliminate more than 260,000 jobs, according to a study by the Ann Arbor-based Center for Automotive Research. "

Shocking! EPA cost benefit predictions based on “feelings”  "Well, it’s certainly hard to argue with that, isn’t it? The economy is in dire need of a boost of that magnitude and, just as obviously, we definitely need all the new jobs we can get, right? There’s just one little problem with this masterful plan. A recent independent study of the EPA’s cost benefit predictions shows that they are almost entirely vaporware."

Industries today have ridiculous amounts of pollution going into the air which again increases the rate of global warming, which melts the polar ice caps. That's the sad part about it. The rate of global warming has always existed. We really need to focus on pulling ourselves out of the gutter so we can spend more money on fixing the environment. Thanks for sharing this information.
