EPA Regulations

A big vote is going through the senate tomorrow; attached to a bill on small businesses are three varying amendments which would affect the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. (See, "US Senate May Vote to Halt EPA Rules on Wednesday", http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110329-715098.html) The main driver behind the proposals seems to be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. I would ask him why exactly he thinks that limiting greenhouse gas emissions would be such a strain on job creation when the "green" sector is a booming industry and real investments in environmental change from the federal government would only increase this potential source of jobs. This is to say nothing of the reality of climate change or the foreign policy implications of being dependent on fossil fuels.
