House Agriculture Committee Republicans In his piece with the Washington Post, Charles Krauthammer says the EPA’s decision to regulate CO2 in the United States gives the government agency broad authority to regulate virtually everything in the United States since we operate an overwhelming carbon-based economy. “No institution that emits more than 250 tons ...of CO2 a year will fall outside EPA control,” writes Krauthammer. “This means over a million building complexes, hospitals, plants, schools, businesses and similar enterprises…Not since the creation of the Internal Revenue Service has a federal agency been given more intrusive power over every aspect of economic life.”

House Agriculture Committee Republicans In his piece with The Packer, Tom Karst says the “climategate” story serves as an important reminder of why the American public should be suspicious of the environmental movement and their proposed cap and trade system.
