Having bullied unwilling House members into supporting his health care package, President Obama can move to his next big legislative goal — making Americans pay more for energy in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions.
Just days from now, Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency is expected to propose new regulations on carbon emissions. If the agency makes them as draconian as the letter of the law requires, your McMansion could become a federally regulated stationary source of pollution.
But don’t worry: These regulations are not designed to take effect, but rather to scare the hell out of Congress so that it enacts milder restrictions. It is a regulatory and legislative game of chicken.
This probably sounds like a bad method for making laws, and it is. But there’s an even worse method: to have a jury of angry Mississippians decide the issue of global warming once and for all.
