President Obama will announce Tuesday he is planning to sidestep Congress to implement a national plan to combat climate change that will include the first-ever federal regulations on carbon dioxide emitted by existing power plants, despite adamant opposition from Republicans and some energy producers.In a speech at Georgetown University Tuesday, Obama will announce he's issuing a presidential memorandum to implement the regulations, meaning none of the steps involved in the plan will require congressional approval.Obama also was to announce $8 billion in federal loan guarantees to spur investment in technologies that can keep carbon dioxide produced by power plants from being released into the atmosphere.LINK 4951

OBama is the biggest threat to America: ObamaCare, Illegal immigration, NSA, IRS now an attack on energy. It is horrible when your own president hates his country and it's people.C02 does not cause global warming. 4951

Congress still has to approve funding. Even his most ardent supporters on the left have fragile egos and dont take kindly to anyone-even The One- usurping their power. Congress will not fund his kooky projects and BO will blame Republicans. And so it goes... 4951

So how long will it be till they start consolidating people into the cities so we can have a smaller foot print and have less impact on the environment? 4951

The strategies used to remove the landowner from his land include, but are not limited to, the following:Land is taken…… by denying water and/or grazing rights to farmers and ranchers or limiting their use of pesticides and herbicides, which in turn will force the farmers and ranchers out of business, causing the land to possibly fall into the hands of the federal gov’t.… when Wilderness Areas, Parks, etc. are established. Not only the land is out of production, but, the mineral resources underground or forest above can also be made off limits for development.… by expanding the legal definition of a wetland. By making any trickle of water or puddle a wetland, the EPA can prevent the development of the land and all the land around it. This makes the land worthless and easy to acquire by sundry entities including the gov’t.… when an endangered species is located within a forest. Then large areas around this area are made off limits to development, and once again, the land loses its value and is easily acquired by gov’t.… by the direct taking of land through eminent domain.… when Road RIP, a non-governmental organization, was created for the sole purpose of removing existing roads and preventing the construction of new roads into wilderness areas. Then humans are locked away from land that was once served by roadways.… when urban boundaries are created around a town, beyond which development may not occur and/or utilities may not be provided. This will destroy the economic value of the rural lands around the town. Comprehensive Land Use Plans in existence today and their policies are creating this scenario.…  when the government declares land part of a flood plain, then forces the homeowners to give up their homes. The homes are then destroyed and the land declared undevelopable. The government gets a 2-fer if the land is along a river.  Then, not only is the land off limits to development, the government has total control of the river and the priceless water it contains.… when a land trust purchases private property rights from a land owner for promises from the land owner to do certain environmentally friendly things. In return the land owner and his heirs are then able to stay on this land in perpetuity.Unfortunately over time, the land trust may make more and more environmental demands on the landowner, until the landowner can no longer make a living off of the land. With all the restriction  placed on the property, no one but the government may be willing to buy it. These agreements are called Conservation Easements.President Obama  has greatly advanced the locking down of rural America through Executive Order 13575 with its far reaching consequences. 4951
