So basically, the EPA had authority over the reduction of pollution but now they’re trying to curb emissions via lowering production. You can tell a power plant to not dump coal ash in a river but you can’t tell them to turn down the generators in order to lower CO2 emissions.
Sounds like the key here would be to designate CO2 as a pollutant. Which rings a memory for me, didn’t we just go through a little thing a month or so ago about classifying CO2 as pollution? So someone already had the tip that this was coming down the pipe and they front-loaded the discourse.
Of course they’ll never accept the argument that CO2 is a pollutant. If they did, it would open up regulation on everything that produces it. The last thing the energy and meat sectors want is a path to regulation like that. Once you do CO2 then methane is next. Then there goes AOC green new deal hamburgers Stalin.
