EPA Regulation Supporters – never thinking of the ramifications on others

The new CO2 emissions regulations now being put forth by the EPA is going to have a huge impact on the American economy and people.  Here, Dan Joseph of MRC TV went to interview (yeah, in DC he gets to do interviews with all kinds of folks) some folks that were demonstrating FOR the EPA to implement them (as opposed to say “Who the heck is the EPA to put itself up higher than the Congress in making this huge impact on America”?

I think the supporters were a bit, shall we say, lacking:

You know, if these folks want to reshape and restructure their own lives to use less energy in every aspect of their lives, go for it.  It is this “forced communitarianism” by  manipulating the levers of power of Government to make everyone else’s lives miserable by only allowing the Politically Correct energy sources (just look at the list at the Sierra Club of “beyonds”: coal, oil, gas; they take credit for closing 157 coal fired plants so far and brag about closing the next 357 by 2020).  Ramifications – everything will become MUCH more expensive.

So, who will it hurt the most?  The poor and lower middle class.  But that’s OK, these nitwits will get an adrenaline shot of self-esteem even as the next heat wave may kill a like minded 50,000 like the French elderly a few years ago – or, when there’s not enough juice this winter, run the furnaces. Or watch more industries relocate offshore (just like they are moving from California, energy costs being one factor of a few).
