Inhofe Previews Obama State of the Union: President Should Address the Flood of Regulations Coming From EPA - They Threaten Jobs and Jobs Creation
I will say here very clearly: if the President doesn't heed calls for change in his regulatory policies, then Congress will have to change them.

We will start with EPA's backdoor attempt to impose cap-and-trade taxes on consumers and employers. The President failed to pass this agenda in Congress-too many members understood its destructive costs and negligible benefits. Now he's using the EPA and the Clean Air Act to make it happen.

Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) once referred to EPA's global warming agenda as "a glorious mess." He was right. EPA regulation could cover 260,000 office buildings, 150,000 warehouses, 92,000 health-care facilities, 71,000 hotels and motels, 51,000 food-service facilities, 37,000 churches, and 17,000 farms. And what is the result? By EPA's estimates, global mean temperature would drop about one-hundredth of a degree by 2100.

The cost-benefit analysis here is fairly straightforward. And so is the answer to this glorious mess: repeal it.

Our courthouses should be bastions of justice, not sources of cheap wealth or chambers that create laws out of thin air that no legislature would pass. Lawmakers create the policies that govern our judicial system, and they have both the authority, and the duty, to ensure that global warming litigation doesn't become legal plunder.

What should be on trial is the global warming guesswork that passes as science, not the producers in our economy.
