Welcome to the surprise that really isn’t. EPA’s chief propagandist and enforcer, Gina
McCarthy, admitted her agency’s regulations have no effect on climate. But that’s not going to stop them from
imposing their radical socialist agenda.
CHAIRMAN LAMAR SMITH: “On the Clean Power Plan, former Obama
Administration Assistant Secretary Charles McConnell said at best it will
reduce global temperature by only one one-hundredth of a degree Celsius. At the
same time it’s going to increase the cost of electricity. That’s going to hurt
the lowest income Americans the most. How do you justify such an expensive,
burdensome, onerous rule that’s really not going to do much good and isn’t this
all pain and no gain.
ADMINISTRATOR GINA MCCARTHY: “No sir, I don’t agree with you. If you
look at the RIA we did, the Regulatory Impact Analysis you would see it’s enormously
beneficial.
CHAIRMAN SMITH: “Do you consider one
one-hundredth of a degree to be enormously beneficial?”
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: “The value of this rule is not measured
in that way. It is measured in showing strong domestic action which can
actually trigger global action to address what’s a necessary action to
protect…”
CHAIRMAN SMITH: “Do
you disagree with my one one-hundredth of a degree figure? Do you disagree with
the one one-hundredth of a degree?”
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: “I’m not disagreeing that this action in
and of itself will not make all the difference we need to address climate
action, but what I’m saying is that if we don’t take action domestically we
will never get started and we’ll never…”
CHAIRMAN SMITH: “But
if you are looking at the results, the results can’t justify the cost and the
burden that you’re imposing on the American people in my judgement.”
