WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to act for the first time to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that scientists blame for the warming of the planet, according to top Obama administration officials.

The decision, which most likely would play out in stages over a period of months, would have a profound impact on transportation, manufacturing costs and how utilities generate power. It could accelerate the progress of energy and climate change legislation in Congress and form a basis for the United States’ negotiating position at United Nations climate talks set for December in Copenhagen.

yeah, screw our environment, it might cost us money to keep it clean!

maybe your problem is the failure to understand how the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is investing in a sustainable future. it is not "expensive". it is an investment that will yield positive returns going forward.

Yeah screw the 7% unemployed and growing. Maybe your problem is the failure to understand that you won't be effected by a lack of employment...nice gig if you can get it.

Wonderful time to add additional costs to our economy...

There's a concept called "opportunity cost". You might study that one some day...
