Obama, Reid and EPA Ready To Kill 800,000 More Jobs

From Fox News: The top Republican on a Senate environmental panel released a scathing report Tuesday that he contends shows that the Environmental Protection Agency's new proposed rule on cleaning up boilers nationwide could devastate America's manufacturing base and imperil hundreds of thousands of jobs without providing any real public health or environmental benefits.
In June, the EPA issued a proposal that would force industrial, commercial and institutional boilers and heaters to use "maximum achievable control technology" to reduce harmful emissions that erode air quality and pose a public health risk....

But the report found that the proposed rule, known as "Boiler MACT," could put nearly 800,000 jobs at risk over requirements on commercial and industrial boilers, cement plans and ozone standards.
"Reducing emissions of mercury, hydrogen chloride and other hazardous air pollutants from commercial and industrial boilers is good policy," the report reads. "But the manner in which EPA set standards to reduce those emissions is impracticable and costly."
That's because the proposed standards are so stringent that not even the best performing sources can meet them, according to the Industrial Energy Consumers of America, (IECA), an industry group that represents companies with 750,000 employees and $800 billion in sales and is cited in the report.

But hey, it's for the kids. What's 800,000 jobs to Reid and Obama. They don't care about jobs if they can claim it helps the environment. Reid and Obama put jobs and humanity secondary compared to the false religion of Green. Green energy, green jobs, global warming etc take precedence over people, even if the green energy, global warming and jobs are a hoax.
So, 800,000 jobs? To Harry and Obama- who the hell cares about people.

  1. It's still in the proposal stage. Exceptions will be carefully crafted to mitigate the cost to industry and utilities while getting rid of the obsolete boilers that are the biggest health hazard.
