The EPA’s latest bull

This is what passes for Environmental Protection these days? And from the Environmental Protection Agency itself? My god.

“The question is how to have an effective strategy. Is it more effective to let each state make a decision as to how to proceed in curbing greenhouse gases or is it more effective to have a national strategy,” Bush said at a news conference Thursday.

Johnson said California’s emissions limits weren’t needed because Congress just passed energy legislation raising fuel economy standards nationwide.

By this logic, no state should have to have a state highway system, because there’s a federal highway system that’s both already in place and qualitatively better. Generalized: no state should have laws that legislate any matter peripherally touched on by federal law. You’ve got to admire the Bush administration: ‘we don’t torture detainees, only logical argumentation’. Anyway, the one bright spot: the Governator Schwarzenegger has announced that the state will sue the federal government, and several other states, including Washington and Oregon, are apparently going to join the fray. Good for them. What a crock. What a total crock. Honestly, I simply can’t believe it.

And meanwhile we’re worried about Mitt Romney’s pizza-eating habits while the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Words cannot describe.
