Germany’s Green Bubble Follows Spain’s; Will Congress Waste More Billions on Ours?

As the Obama administration races to make reality his dream of ‘bankrupt[ing]’ coal and causing your ‘electricity rates [to] necessarily skyrocket’, they are also rushing to rebrand the effort by changing its face. The obvious wealthy, white and western environmentalist movement is getting another big bag of taxpayer money to give itself a makeover as a minority-rights movement.
The Examiner’s Tim Carney reports that “President Obama’s EPA administrator, Lisa Jackson [is] sending $7 million of the taxpayers’ money to dozens of groups mounting academic and propaganda campaigns organized around that theme.”
This is a drop in the bucket whose larger objective is to bring in these groups as aid-dependent advocates of an agenda. The most repugnant aspect of this cynical ploy is that people of color are those hurt first and worst by this agenda, and most threatened by its global expansion.
UPDATE: A friend forwards this article. So let’s watch another devastatingly expensive, ineffective and eve counterproductive lack of green judgment unfold in New Yor’s schools. No doubt in the name of protecting minorities. Wait, minority children.

The answer to your question lies in Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged".
Who is John Galt?

One school of environmental thought regards the human race and all its activities as the inevitable sources of planetary degradation. While the thinkers themselves get a free pass (natch!), everyone else is expendable in this dream of downsizing humanity. To true belivers of this school, regulating the US economy into nothingness has a certain appeal. And we taxpayers fund this stuff! I hope the House gets really tough on regulators as a group, our societal death panel.

Get on your phone, your email, your snailmail. and demand that your congressional representatives defund the EPA. The conservative majority on congress does hold the power to put and end to this power grab.
Another data point on why all rules made by these independent agencies should be sunset every 10 years.

My rep is a demo, in Pittsburgh and his only opposition in Nov. was a Greenie.
At least Pat Toomey was elected to the Senate and Tom Corbett was elected guv.
