Inhofe was the lead-off witness at a somewhat contentious and lengthy hearing on a proposal that he and Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, are pushing essentially to kill the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate greenhouse gases.Click title of post for full article.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, the other major attraction at the hearing, testified after Inhofe.
Different sides were drawn years ago on the long-running debate over climate change, its causes and what governments should do or not do to address the issue.
Wednesday’s hearing at the Subcommittee on Energy and Power followed that script.
That included lengthy statements from members of the panel with limited time for witnesses to respond.
Inhofe and House Republicans on the subcommittee focused on what they consider the enormous costs of EPA’s efforts to regulate greenhouse emissions, the jobs that could be lost and the questions that, in their view, continue to surround climate change science.
Bottom line, this is all about stopping third world countries from developing and gaining access to energy.
