The “illuminati” hand sign – surprised?
U.S. Reps. Ike Skelton, a Democrat, and Jo Ann Emerson, a Republican, sharply criticized federal environmental regulators and warned that because EPA officials are not elected, the agency is not accountable to the farmers, business owners and other Missouri residents who could be hurt….
“The EPA is controlled by bureaucrats who are not elected and are responsible only to the head of the EPA who is from New Jersey,” said Skelton, who represents central and western Missouri. “And I doubt that they understand mid-America, the Midwest, agriculture and what our farmers need to continue to do a good job for our country.” http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/Bi-partisan-bill-against-EPA-carbon-regulations-83452667.html#ixzz0eUu8f9VR
Lisa Jackson, Head of EPA:, is decribed in the Huffington Post, as a proven leader on energy and climate issues and also calls Jackson, a great choice for the Obama EPA….As commissioner of the N.J. EPA, she helped New Jersey adopt economy-wide limits on global warming pollution, making it second only to California in its efforts to address climate change. She pushed the, (then), governor, (John Corzine), to support an economic stimulus plan that included about $500 million for energy efficiency investments. She also shaped the state’s Energy Master Plan, which requires New Jersey to cut energy use by 20 percent by 2020 and meet 30 percent of demand through renewables by 2020. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frances-beinecke/the-environmental-appoint_b_150450.html
The EPA’s programs carbon emissions reduction is based on the model used in western Europe, that in itself should hold these programs as suspect. Norway is a good example of what not to do in following this model:
In 1991, Norway enacted a punishing carbon tax, but things haven’t turned out quite as expected, the Wall Street Journal reports. Greenhouse-gas emissions have actually risen 15%, and industries deemed vital to the nation’s economy or image were spared the tax or given sweet deals. Though the oil and gas industry has become more eco-friendly…gas prices, (are), around $10 a gallon. http://www.newser.com/story/38796/hefty-carbon-tax-raised-norways-emissions.html
Regardless of all the negative economic effect’s of these programs, the true believers, despite the fact that the climate control assumptions are now found to be seriously flawed by scientific misrepresentation, are still pushing for these “climate control” policies. Once again this leads us back to who is actually behind and benefiting from this agenda besides the “green energy” industry, scientists and politicians who are being paid off to push this agenda? One thing that is for certain is that it is not you or me. Just my opinion.

NJ is so far out ahead of the other 49 states. Last year, at a cost of mucho millions of dollars, the NJ EPA distributed one of those curly lightbulbs to each NJ home. NJ’s trash collections mushroomed unexpectedly when those curly fry bulbs were trashed by NJ residents in a show of strength against Corzine and his EPA peeps. Instead, the money spent on that fiasco could have boosted the economy of NJ if each adult was given $10 in Atlantic City gambling chips.
