Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin on Thursday will eliminate the "2009 Obama EPA Endangerment Finding," which set in motion most federal greenhouse gas emissions standards for vehicles, saving Americans billions. The 2009 development was an EPA finding that carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and three other greenhouse gases "endanger the public health and welfare of current and future generations" under the Clean Air Act " leading to a slew of new restrictions and regulations. An ensuing Supreme Court ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA found greenhouse gases qualify as air pollutants and that if the EPA determines they endanger public health or welfare it can regulate them.

"As I traveled across all 50 states this past year, I heard from countless Americans who not only dislike the (motor-vehicle) start-stop feature but passionately advocated for this mechanism to be a thing of the past," Zeldin said of the major recission made Thursday.

Boaz, I have the perfect you can own the libs. Run a garden hose from your tailpipe to the inside of your vehicle and sit in while it idles for a few hours. That would surely show us there is no health risk from those gases so we can all know how stupid we are.

Actually Boaz I retract that statement. Do not do that. You will die. I meant #3 as a joke but then I remembered that you might just be dumb enough to do it.
