UAW wants EPA to regulate GHGs

examiner.com -- The United Auto Workers expressed their sentiment that Congress should move forward to enact comprehensive climate change legislation that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions; they did so in a letter they sent to the members of Congress recently.Although we recognize the difficulties involved in this effort, we believe that legislation can be crafted that will reduce global warming pollution while at the same time creating jobs and providing a boost to our economy. In particular, we believe such legislation can help to provide significant investment in domestic production of advanced technology vehicles and their key components, as well as other energy saving technologies.

teafortwo Champion Author Washington Posts:15,373 Points:924,275 Joined:Feb 2009	Message Posted: Mar 17, 2010 1:18:32 PM Ignore teafortwo Report Abuse Very well said RealDealSeeker from Columbus, In addition to bringing our boys and husbands and wives home, I am a big fan of CLEAN ENERGY to help give us non-toxic SOIL (especially around oil refineries and our roadways) and cleaner AIR (especially around oil refineries and our roadways), of course cleaner WATER (especially around oil refineries and our roadways). What a concept. Being able to take a breath of clean fresh air and drink a glass of clean fresh water [or tea ;0)] and grow our food in healthy soil .... Guess I am just the old fashioned type. I need clean fresh AIR and clean fresh WATER and healthy, non-toxic SOIL . I prefer it for myself and for future generations. SOOOOO much easier to prevent than to try to clean up these TOXIC MESSES.
RealDealSeeker Sophomore Author Columbus Posts:214 Points:43,745 Joined:Sep 2009	Message Posted: Mar 17, 2010 11:43:49 AM Ignore RealDealSeeker Report Abuse It's true that the scientists and global warming supporters engaged in some trickeration -- lies and deceit -- to prove their theory. Poster monster Algore's tricked up movie was a clue. Especially since he can't seem to go anywhere unless it is by SUV, private jet or huge boat. If people like Algore led by example instead of with their pieholes, they would be more credible. But that doesn't mean oil independence is a bad idea. Electric vehicles promise to reduce dependence on oil. Want to solve the mid east problem? Make oil worthless. Or at least way less valuable.
