This amendment is short-sighted and sounds like it comes right out of the oil/coal lobbyist's mouths,
"Jobs will be lost!" Yes, and will help to create MORE jobs in the alternative energy field than job loses in the current dirty jobs that make rich guys richer.
Bad for the environment, bad for workers (especially those with the shoddy health insurance the corporatists offer them), bad for progress.

April 14, 2010, 6:34pm (report abuse)The Environmental Protection Agency is an out-of-control bureaucracy attempting an unprecedented power-grab, seeking to regulate every aspect of our lives and take control of the U.S. economy by shoehorning greenhouse gas regulation into the 1970 Clean Air Act. There is no imaginable worse tool than the Clean Air Act, whose old fashioned, command-and-control regulations would devastate the United States economy.
The devastating impacts of allowing EPA to continue with its proposed regulations are easy to see. It is our responsibility to tell Congress to stop them. Not by replacing Clean Air Act regulation with another economically ruinous scheme like cap-and-trade, but with clean pre-emption that removes the threat.
