EPA Wants to Make it More Expensive for Americans to Fly

Forget Green Energy. The real money is in Green Taxes.

The Environmental Protection Agency has begun the process of determining whether to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from airline flights, which could result in higher costs for airline travelers.

The agency has no timeline set for when the rule will be released, but anticipates a proposed endangerment finding by late April 2015 and a final determination by spring of 2016. A positive endangerment finding would mean the EPA would declare greenhouse gas emissions “endanger public health or welfare.”

“If a positive endangerment and cause or contribute findings are made, U.S./EPA is obligated under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to set [greenhouse gas] emission standards for aircraft,” the EPA said in its notification to the United Nations.

Note the United Nations part of that.

We’ve long left the territory of anything involving the Clean Air Act which is being used to push unscientific claims about the Warming scam under the guise that anything that contributes to a non-existent problem which has already been disproven can be regulated under the CAA.

But the endgame, as always, is money. It’s about forcing Americans to get rid of their dishwashers and washing machines or pay more. It’s about forcing them not to fly or pay more.

It’s about lefty feudalism which turns the lifestyle that Americans used to enjoy into a privilege reserved for wealthy liberal climate consultants.

Green? Think red.

    First order of business when we get a legitimate president, shut this agency down. It’s a commie front organization. I’ve had enough of their snake oil. They’re the same people who said the earth was flat. Here’s George Carlin’s take on it. These people can’t even secure a border, but they’re going to save the planet? What conceit.

    We could be off fossil fuels and there can be no endangered species and they will still they make us ask “Mother may I” before we do anything.

    Tired of the whole pendulum theory of how things work.

    The so called moderates among us will excuse the EPA based on the pendulum theory and say it is the only way to go forward.

    As thinking human beings we can get this right the first time. Maybe not every time but often.

    I don’t even fly anymore, because I detest being proven guilty until proven innocent of being a terrorist. I’d rather take a pair of brass knuckles to the first TSA goon who’d attempt to grope me.

    • Gee

      You can thank all the Muslims that created the TSA

    time to destroy the EPA and rebuild it from the ground up

    Consider the words of the man Comrade Obama hired as his top adviser on science and technology, John P. Holdren:

    “A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to DE-DEVELOP the United States. Resources and energy must be diverted from frivolous and wasteful uses in overdeveloped countries to filling the genuine needs of underdeveloped countries.De-development means bringing our economic system (especially patterns of consumption) into line with the realities of ecology and the global resource situation. This effort must be largely political.”

    “Redistribution of wealth both within and among nations,” wrote Obama’s future science adviser, along with Paul and Anne Ehrlich, “is absolutely essential, if a decent life is to be provided to every human being.”
