ALLEGED ARMED OFFICERS SHUT DOWN MASS. ICE CREAM STAND INDEFINITELY

by Admin on May 17, 2012 in EPA, Statism, Tyrrany with No comments

Via: The BlazeIf you’re the owner of an ice cream stand in Massachusetts and you make building improvements without asking the state for permission, you may find yourself on the receiving end of a prohibition-style shutdown.

Massachusetts Ice Cream Stand Shut Down by Armed Environmental Police OfficersDibs on the mint chip…

An ice cream stand in Great Brook Farm State Park, MA (of course), was shut down by state officials this weekend after it was discovered that the owner had made building improvements without the appropriate permits, lowellsun.com reports. “Mark Duffy, who has operated the dairy farm at the state-owned park for 26 years and has a lease with the state to run the stand, said armed Environmental Police officers showed up at stand on Friday evening and stood guard throughout the weekend, turning away customers,”lowellsun.com’s Chris Camire reports. And as if having the stand shutdown wasn’t bad enough, the park officials did it over Mother’s Day weekend. “Edward Lambert, commissioner of the Department of Conservation and Recreation, said the stand was closed after it was discovered construction had been done without local or state permits,” Camire reports. “The work, which expanded the stand, included construction on a barn built in 1910 that is adjacent to the stand,” the report adds. Lambert’s excuse? He’s protecting the public until the state is positive the improvements are 100 percent safe. “I like ice cream as much as anybody, so it pains us to even temporarily close what is an iconic property, but we have to make sure people eating ice cream there are safe,” said Lambert. However, according to Duffy, who lives on the nearby farm with his wife, he has made plenty of improvements over the years and this is the first time the authorities have thrown a fit. “The reason I’m here and the purpose of having me here is to improve the facility and operate a commercial dairy farm,” said Duffy, “I make improvements every single day and have for 26 years.” And along with Duffy being put out of work there are also the 13 high school and college kids who worked there. They’re unemployed as well.

The ice cream stand and the dairy farm are situated on a 1,000-acre park where people come to hike, mountain bike, tour the dairy facilities, and, of course, eat ice cream. “On a diversified farm like this, the only way to stay in business is to make all the pieces work together,” said Duffy. “I have expenses. I just don’t have that income anymore. It’s a seasonal business, but this was done on Friday at 6 p.m. on a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend.” Lambert said he‘s not sure when he’ll allow Duffy to reopen the stand.

RUSSIA HIRES EXXON MOBIL TO GET OIL OBAMA DOESN’T WANT

by Admin on April 24, 2012 in Energy, EPA, Sarah Palin, Tyrrany with No comments

Here’s the picture—Alaska contains a wealth of oil both on land, in ANWR, and off shore in its outer continental shelf. But President Obama and the Democrat party are staunchly opposed to allowing us to avail ourselves of it. And via the Keystone Pipeline, Canada could supply nearly 1,000,000 barrels of oil a day that we’re not getting from Alaska, but Obama and the Democrats have stopped that too.As a result, the price we’re paying per-gallon for gasoline is steadily climbing, and other countries are choosing to go where we won’t for oil. Thus the oil Canada was going to sell us via Keystone will now go to China and oil up near the Arctic will be going to Russia. And the company Russia has hired to do the extraction is none other than Exxon Mobil.

Think about how backward things are under Obama—the largest oil company in America is going to be drilling in waters around the Arctic where they expect to find 85 billion barrels in recoverable oil. And instead of sending it to Texas refineries, and thereafter to gas stations across America, the oil will be sent to Russia and refined for their use.

By the way, if extracted at the rate of 1 million barrels a day, 85 billion barrels of oil would last for 85,000 days.  85,000 days equals well over 200 years.  Yet here we are, listening to Obama telling us the future is one of wind farms, electric cars, and a companies like Solyndra.

Perhaps we’ll get lucky and Russia will sell us some of their oil. If Obama keeps us in this energy stranglehold we’re going to need it.

ALEC Releases Economy Derailed: State-by-State Impacts of the EPA Regulatory Train Wreck

by Admin on April 24, 2012 in EPA, Global Warming Hoax, Green Energy Gimmick with No comments

Washington, DC — April 23, 2012 — For the past 42 years, Earth Day has been used to draw attention to environmental issues. In honor of Earth Day 2012, ALEC has released Economy Derailed: State-by-State Impacts of the EPA Regulatory Train Wreck celebrating the true story of America’s clean air and water successes by highlighting improvements in environmental quality over the past three decades. However, Economy Derailed also exposes the risks posed by the EPA’s recent regulatory onslaught. This excessive regulatory campaign has little to do with public health yet will have an immense impact on American quality of life.

“Economy Derailed” reveals that numerous EPA regulations are causing the shutdown of power plants across the nation, destroying jobs, raising energy costs, and decreasing reliability of electricity. Ranked according to potential job loss, the top ten states most impacted by the EPA are Illinois, West Virginia, Ohio, Alabama, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Kentucky, and North Carolina – all of which could shed over 20,000 jobs. Illinois will be the worst hit with jobs at risk totaling 38,382.

“Never before has the EPA undertaken such an immense regulatory assault on the production of affordable and reliable energy,” notes Economy Derailed author and ALEC’s Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force Director Todd Wynn. “The EPA is depriving Americans of desperately needed jobs and making it more difficult for families to make ends meet. Ironically, by increasing the cost of energy, the EPA’s actions will have dangerous unintended consequences for the health of all Americans.”

Major findings in the report include:

•             Environmental quality in the United States continues to improve, despite the doomsday rhetoric coming from the EPA and environmental groups. Mercury, carbon monoxide, ozone, lead, nitrogen oxide, particulates, fine particulates, and sulfur dioxide have all decreased in both ambient concentrations in the atmosphere and in total emissions.

•             Electricity rates could increase 10.35 percent on average due to just five EPA regulations. Eleven states could see rate increases of over 20 percent. The state of Iowa has the highest potential rate increase at 32 percent.

•             Over 100 power plants across the nation could be shut down due to pending EPA regulations. Ohio would be the worst hit with 13 power plants being retired early.  Illinois is expected to lose the most total electricity generation: over 8,000 megawatts or enough energy to power over 6 million homes.

•             A broad and diverse coalition – representing millions of workers, companies, state legislators and state officials across the country – have openly voiced opposition to escalating EPA expansion.

“States need to get involved in pushing back against EPA overreach that is threatening economic growth, and the standard of living of Americans in every state”, declared ALEC Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force Chair Representative David Wolkins (IN).

Craig, Colorado: A case study in energy regulation gone mad.

by Admin on February 17, 2012 in Energy, EPA, Global Warming Hoax, Green Energy Gimmick, Obama Propaganda, Obama's Economy with 1 Comment

A Line of Sight, by Bob Beauprez

When Barack Obama promised that his non-energy energy policies would “bankrupt” anyone foolish enough to try to operate a coal-fired power plant, he talked as if he would only inflict pain on some inanimate structure of concrete and steel .   Clever politician that he is, he depersonalized his war on fossil fuels all in the name of saving the planet.

What he didn’t mention, of course, is that real people work at these power plants, and real people have jobs harvesting and transporting coal, natural gas, and oil from deep inside the earth so that many more people may have sustained supplies of affordable energy to maintain a quality of life and productive work places.  Furthermore, in energy producing communities any family or small business not directly connected to energy is still dependent on the health and vitality of the energy industry for their survival, too.

Craig is a town of just 10,000 people in the northwestern corner of Colorado.  It is home to one of the largest coal-fired power plants in the country.  A combination of new federal and state punitive regulations mistakenly aimed at the industry is threatening the very existence of the town and its citizens.

Below is a link to a short video that accurately represents the importance of a vibrant coal industry to everyone in that community.   It’s not just brick and mortar that government over regulation will destroy – it’s the lives of real people like these.  The impact of these new policies is only just beginning to be felt, but you can already see the severe consequences to the good folks who live here.   Worst of all, as the video mentions, most of these new destructive policies are based on falsehoods and phony myths.  With today’s clean technology, fossil fuels are not the enemy.   Given the chance, people in places like Craig would supply vastly greater amounts of affordable, dependable, domestically produced clean energy all across America.

Anti-Pipeline Dave Heineman Should Not Run for Senate in Nebraska

Late in August, the Nebraska Republican penned a letter to the President and Secretary of State requesting that they deny the permit for the pipeline.  Heineman stated that he objected to the route of the pipeline for fear that an oil spill would affect that Ogallala Aquifer – an underground water table in western Nebraska.

Never mind that unlike oil tankers, pipelines are much safer, and in the rare event of a spill, the affected area is measured in tens of feet, not thousands.  Never mind that the EPA and the State Department saw no concern with the proposed route of the pipeline.  Disregard the fact that the only legitimate threat to the water supply comes from the ethanol production that is so blithely promoted by Nebraska’s Republicans, without any concern for the Ogallala Aquifer.  Dave Heineman felt that he must convene a special session of the legislature and block the pipeline, granting Obama the vital bipartisan cover he needed to scuttle the project.

Two months later, buoyed by Republican Heineman’s moral support, Obama suspended the pipeline until after the 2012 elections.  As they say, the rest is history.

Now, Senators Cornyn and McConnell are imploring the governor to seek the Republican nomination in the Senate race against Ben Nelson.

Let’s not muddle our unified message on energy policy by electing the Keystone Pipeline slayer to the Senate?

Xcel Energy “Breaks Wind” Records For Rate-Payers

by Admin on December 5, 2011 in Agenda 21, EPA, Global Warming Hoax, Obama Propaganda, Obama's Economy with No comments

People’s Press Collective
by  | 12:18 pm, December 4, 2011 | 1 Comment

The Denver Post reports:

Early on Oct. 6, Xcel Energy set a world record for electricity from wind power. Between 4 and 5 a.m. that day, 55.6 percent of the electricity consumed by Xcel’s 1 million customers in Colorado came from wind farms dotting the state. 

“We’re proud of that and believe it shows that wind is an important part of the portolio,” said Michelle Aguayo, an Xcel spokeswoman. 

English: The , also known as the Green Mountai...

While that seems like a tremendous accomplishment, let’s take a look at what was accomplished, and what it means for Xcel customers.

The record itself is not that impressive. In a recession at 4:00 in the morning, overall electric usage is pretty low. When the economy is humming along at full steam, manufacturers that require lots of electricity often add night shifts, because electricity often costs less at night, and it’s cheaper than building more production capacity. This creates more jobs. But in this economy, it’s a safe bet there ain’t much happening.

October 6 was a high wind day. Portions of I-70 were closed that day from winds. In Denver, the wind uprooted power a light pole, which landed on a light-rail power line, delaying the trains. Lots of wind combined with a recession produced the record.

Wind energy costs up to 80% more than conventional power production. When Xcel brags that they broke a record for wind power generation, they are really saying that at 4 a.m. they produced high cost energy at a time that was once considered to be the least expensive time of day to buy electricity.

Let’s go a bit deeper in our analysis. Colorado has a 30% Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), meaning 30% of our electricity must come from renewable resources by 2020. The citizens voted in 2004 for a 10% standard, but a “too eager to please” legislature has since raised it twice. Solar and wind devices provide roughly one third of their rated capacities, because the wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t always shine. A wind farm rated at 100 megawatts will only deliver 33 megawatts. Because they mandated the 30% RPS, we must overbuild renewable generation by nearly three times.

That sounds great, right? Except that there is no way to store the power produced when the wind is blowing for use when it isn’t. Therefore we must have stand-by generation capacity that can meet all our electricity needs.

Coal power can’t easily or efficiently be “cycled”, meaning you can’t turn it off and on to complement wind speeds or sunshine. Some clean coal plants violate clean air standards because solar and wind are too variable. When they are cycled, their clean status is compromised.

Nuclear power, which has no carbon or other bad emissions, can’t be cycled at all. It can only be used for “baseline generation”, the lowest amount of electricity that gets used during a day. As we approach that 30% standard, nuclear can not be part of the mix, because sometimes all our power must come from renewables. The stand-by generation will all have to be quick cycling sources, such as oil or gas.

In recent years, technology has rapidly advanced to make coal a much cleaner fuel for electricity generation. Now that Colorado and President Obama have decided that coal will be eliminated or minimized as a fuel, there will be no incentive for further advancements in clean coal technology. Meanwhile, advancements in wind, solar, and storage technology are creeping along at a snail’s pace. Government interference is misdirecting research and resources.

Colorado’s Renewable Energy Standard is raising electricity costs when families and businesses are struggling, costing hardships and preventing job creation. The environmental savings, if there are any, are negligible. Readily available, clean burning fuels are being ignored, or shipped to China where they burn without the benefit of our clean technology, creating global pollution. It’s time to eliminate the arbitrary Renewable Portfolio Standard and let market forces, guided by sensible restrictions on pollution, determine how we will generate electricity for families and the businesses that create jobs.

Crony Capitalism and Energy Regulations

by Admin on November 14, 2011 in Crony Capitalism, EPA, Political Propaganda, Tyrrany with No comments
Big Business WatchBig Business is partnering with President Obama to regulate and tax carbon emissions. Major corporations have joined coalitions such as BICEP (Business for Innovative Climate & Energy Policy) and USCAP (United States Climate Action Partnership) to advance regulations of fossil fuel based energy – coal, oil and natural gas – that currently provides about 85 percent of our country’s energy.

Below is a table that lists the companies that are members of BICEP and USCAP. By pushing for President Obama’s energy policy these companies are actively lobbying for regulations that will raise the cost of your gasoline and utility bills as well as cause jobs to move overseas.

Be aware that if you are buying any products from the companies listed below your money is being used to fund a lobbying effort that seeks to raise energy prices and lower your standard of living.

If you disagree with their effort to advance energy regulations, we urge you to voice your complaint by contacting the company and also by possibly deciding to buy a competitor’s product.

Romney’s Former ‘Green’ Quarterback is ‘Excited’ EPA Job-Killing Regulations Nearing Finish Line

by Admin on October 29, 2011 in Creeping Communism, Crony Capitalism, EPA, Obama Propaganda, Progressivism with 1 Comment

Red State

She’s Heading for the End Zone and Defense is No Where to be Found.

Lisa Jackson isn’t the only one happy about how the Environmental Protection Agency is destroying jobs. You may recall some remarks Jackson made previously about the EPA in the face of evidence that proposed regulations would cripple some industry and deeply harm the national economy:

In fact, Jackson believes that there is no reason to be concerned about the economics whatsoever. After all, what do the industry leaders know about their own industry when compared to a former chemical engineer?

WSJ:

This cost-benefit bias may explain why Ms. Jackson could claim at a “green jobs” conference in February that under the Clean Air Act, “For every $1 we have spent, we have gotten $40 of benefits in return. So you can say what you want about EPA’s business sense. We know how to get a return on our investment.”

Essentially what Jackson is saying is that the return on investment for the EPA, in the form of regulatory fees, is more important than the very industries that they are tasked with regulating.

And it’s not as though Jackson is oblivious to these economic certainties, she just doesn’t seem to care. This conversation between Jackson and Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) caused the Congresswoman to refer to the EPA’s stance as being ‘hellbent on destroying jobs‘:

“We’ve had a back-and-forth [with EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson] on whether they actually do look at job creation and job losses and the economic impacts of the regulations that they’re creating,” Caputo said. “It’s obvious they do not. [Jackson] told me that, and her folks have said that too — not just to me, but to numerous other people.”

Well, Jackson is not alone in her enthusiasm for the destruction of industry and jobs. It turns out that there is another smitten individual, and she used to be Romney’s favorite go-to on environmental issues.

Actual standards have not yet been sent to the White House, but EPA is getting closer, air chief Gina McCarthy said yesterday.

‘We’re kind of excited about nearing the finish line on this,’ McCarthy said at an air quality conference in Arlington, Va. (Gabriel Nelson, “White House Starts Review of EPA’s Utility Toxics Rule,” E & E News, October 25, 2011) (emphasis mine)

So what is she so excited about? None other than the very regulations I’ve written about that are going to cost the nation a total of 1.44 million jobs and cause an 11.5% increase in electricity bills according to an independent study performed at the request of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.

The report is of course related to the Clean Air Transport Rule (CATR) & the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Requirements.

This is all coming from the same EPA that has created such an enormously burdensome system which they fully acknowledge would be ‘absurd‘ to comply with, even while they are requesting billions more dollars to add over 200k more bureaucrats to the rolls.

The same EPA which is dead set on destroying the coal industry, which is precisely what our Commander in Chief said he would do at the outset of his presidential bid.

They are systematically destroying an industry which will cost us jobs, the ability to reliably produce power, billions of dollars to the economy…and Gina McCarthy is excited that they’re almost ready to start.

The pushback from the environmentalists is always the same. They claim that job losses will be offset by job gains in the ‘green’ sector. Between electric cars with questionable business models shipping jobs to Finland and solar panel manufacturers like Solyndra spending almost an entire $500 million loan on a factory that no one was buying product from, my faith in these magical green jobs is rapidly dwindling and I already started from a position of total cynicism.

Don’t ever forget, this is all precisely what Barack Obama promised he would do. What candidates do and say matters. Who they work with, what their objectives are, what their previous statements have been. These things have a direct correlation to how they will make decisions and how they will govern.

Did I mention that Gina McCarthy used to work for Mitt Romney as a top level environmental advisor?

The Worst Use of Taxpayer Funds Ever?

I have never seen a better argument for abolishing a federal agency.
September 7, 2011 – 12:00 am - by Mike McDaniel

Government, particularly at the federal level, is supposed to exist only to do the people’s business, the business that they cannot reasonably do for themselves: maintaining the military, conducting diplomacy with other nations. In the pursuit of government, it is sometimes necessary to establish various bureaus, which are populated by bureaucrats.

In a perfect world, a world envisioned by our Founders — though they harbored no delusions about the perfectibility of man — these bureaucrats would behave in a responsible, adult manner.

They would faithfully carry out their jobs with the aim of obeying not only the letter of the law but its spirit. As they are spending the hard-earned tax dollars of the public in the pursuit of their duties, they would take great care to ensure that those dollars were properly and wisely spent. They would understand the boundaries of their authority within the overall system, and would recoil in horror at the very thought of violating those boundaries.

Back to reality.

Perhaps the most egregious example of everything wrong with our federal bureaucracies resides with the Environmental Protection Agency. John Merline, writing in Investor’s Business Daily, tells a tale of EPA abuse of power and squandering of taxpayer monies that ought to cause the American public to demonstrate in righteous rage. I have never seen a more compelling argument for the immediate abolishment of a federal agency.

The EPA is using taxpayer money to encourage environmentalist groups to sue … the EPA. This has continued for decades.

The EPA has paid one of these groups to produce a do-it-yourself guide to suing the EPA.

The EPA frequently enters into consent decrees to settle the suits. Even when the EPA doesn’t hand out megadollar settlements — your money — to the litigious loons, it commonly pays their attorney’s fees.

Why would the EPA do something so obviously crazy?

High-level EPA bureaucrats commonly support the leftist environmentalist beliefs of these groups, as do a great many of the career employees of the agency. They look to serve the leftist groups, not their employers.

Generally speaking, Congress has not authorized the EPA to do most of the things such people live to do, things such as regulating and litigating energy producers, small businesses, and large corporations out of existence. But EPA bureaucrats tend not to like such small-minded, non-nuanced strictures, so they encourage their fellow travelers in the environmentalist movement to sue the EPA. The hope is that the courts can force the EPA to do what the EPA wanted to do in the first place. Rather than erecting a vigorous defense to frivolous environmentalist lawsuits, the EPA simply caves.

Here’s an example of how the process works:

When the Environmental Protection Agency said in late June that it would force Western coal-fired power plants to install haze-reducing pollution-control equipment at a cost of $1.5 billion a year, it said it had to in order to settle a lawsuit by environmental groups.

…

One organization involved in the suit, the Environmental Defense Fund, has a long history of taking the EPA to court. In fact, a cursory review finds almost half a dozen cases in the past 10 years.

The odd thing is that the EPA, in turn, has handed EDF $2.76 million in grants over that same period, according to an IBD review of the agency’s grant database.

From where does all this money come? From we, the people, so that the EPA can in essence sue itself to fund its real allies while getting what they wanted in the first place.

The EPA bureaucrats subvert the will of the people to impose their own desires through judicial mandates they engineered. Environmentalist groups and their fellow travelers not only achieve their anti-American, anti-progress goals but are actually paid by the very people they are suing. And leftist lawyers benefit handsomely from this arrangement.

The American people, whose tax dollars will be wasted, whose energy costs “necessarily skyrocket,” whose businesses close, whose jobs are lost, whose food prices stratospherically rise, end up in every way poorer and with less trust in the government that is supposed to exist only to serve them.

Federal bureaucrats should never exceed their legal authority, and they should never waste taxpayer dollars for any reason, particularly to pay special interests to assist them in exceeding their legal authority. The EPA deserves your scorn, and a dismantling.

Mike McDaniel is a former police officer, detective, and SWAT operator. He’s also a co-blogger at the popular Confederate Yankee Weblog.

People be damned. EPA busy saving the planet.
