Congress Must Fix the EPA

Open email to House Speaker Boehner:

Dear Speaker Boehner,
The Washington Times says The Obama Administration, through use of the EPA, proposes to cut emissions of carbon dioxide from electricity producing plants by 30% by the year 2030.
Sixteen years from now is a long time, but that's probably necessary in order to refit fossil fuel burning plants with carbon dioxide capture equipment. This will obviously increase the cost of electricity significantly; let's guess 20 to 30%.
The sickening thing is that carbon dioxide is not a noxious gas. It is a normal constituent of the atmosphere, and is used by plants in their growth. Even more significant is the fact that carbon dioxide has no effect on climate change, contrary to the claims of the Obama Administration. All efforts to prove that it does have been unfruitful. Ridiculous theories of "forcing" developed by pseudoscientists have no justification, as they ignore the thermal resistances of gases.
But the question is, "Why do I address this email to you, Speaker of the House?" Simply because the EPA is your baby. You and your associates set it up when you developed the Clean Air Act. You set up the EPA and gave the President full power for implementing it in any way he wished. We are now reaping the whirlwind. But, all is not lost.
You and your Congressional associates have caused the problem. It is now your duty to fix it.
