Bono Mack Denounces EPA Announcement to Regulate Greenhouse Gases

Washington, DC — Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack (CA-45), Member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, issued the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that six greenhouse gases (GHGs) threaten public health and the environment, which paves the way for  the Administration to implement unilateral regulations on various sectors of our economy:

“Today’s announcement by the EPA represents the worst path to a clean energy economy, one toward more bureaucratic solutions to our Nation’s challenges. Pressing this effort shortly before the Copenhagen summit ignores the state of our economy and the detrimental effects of a government Agency acting alone in regulating our lives.

“I also have concerns that this announcement, coming shortly after controversial emails on climate change, leaves questions that still need to be answered.

“The EPA’s decision, coupled with reckless spending and the email scandal, raises serious questions about where we are heading.  The Senate has an opportunity to right this debate and improve this flawed approach, as Americans deserve – and demand – better.”

  1. Finally words I have hoped to hear, there are just to many business and job killing items on the agenda in this administration.

    Help keep us alive Mary!

    This is great!

    I think as voters in Riverside County see the contrast between the leadership Mary is providing the people of the 45th Congressional District and the failed leadership of her opponent in the race the choice will be clear: send someone who stands up to the radical, job killing agenda of the Obama Administration and the Democrats in Congress back to Washington and not a rubber stamp for Obama and who drives business and hard working families out of Palm Springs
