There are 10 major environmental rules that Biden just pushed out the door.. Four of these will significantly contribute to the draining of your financial reserves. the other six are just going to make life difficult. They are:
1. Shifting to Electric Cars
The rule does not ban sales of gasoline-powered cars or mandate sales of all-electric vehicles, but by 2032 more than half the new cars sold in the United States would be zero-emissions vehicles, up from just 7.6% last year.
2.Slashing Power Plant Pollution
Requires existing coal plants reduce 90% of greenhouse pollution by 2039 and requires new natural gas power plants to reduce their emissions 90% by 2032.
3.Plugging Methane Leaks
Requires oil and gas producers to detect and fix leaks of methane that wafts into the atmosphere from pipelines, drill sites and storage facilities.
4.Raising the Price to Drill on Public Lands: Raises royalty rates and increases more than tenfold the amount of the bonds that companies must secure before they start drilling.
Other actions guaranteed to jack up prices and steal pennies from widows include:
5.Banning Asbestos: Bans chrysotile asbestos, the only type of asbestos still used in the United States,. The mineral is used in roofing materials, textiles and cement as well as gaskets, clutches, brake pads and other automotive parts.
6.Ending ‘Forever’ Chemicals in Tap Water: Requires municipal water systems to remove six synthetic chemicals currently present in the tap water of hundreds of millions of Americans. The new rule require that the public be notified if levels exceed a standard of 4 parts per trillion for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl. Not 4 PP million. No, not 4 PP billion. We’re talking 4 parts per 1,000,000,000,000 .
7.Protecting Endangered Species: Protecting them from you, not from them. Gives federal officials more leeway to protect species in a ‘changing climate’, bring back protections for animals that are classified as “threatened” and clarifies whether to list a species must be made without considering economic factors.
8.Protecting the Alaskan Wilderness. Deep sixes a proposed 211-mile industrial road to a $7.5 billion copper deposit.
9.Chemical Plant Safety. Requires 12,000 chemical plants and other industrial sites nationwide that handle hazardous materials to explicitly plan for and invest in safety measures against disasters. (We knew this was delayed until members of the deep-state were able to acquire sufficient stock in said firms that produce ‘safety measures’.)
10.Permitting for Highways, Power Lines and Pipelines. Speeds up federal construction permits for clean energy projects while slowing down everyone else. Requires the feds to more heavily weigh damaging effects on the climate and on low-income communities before approving projects like highways and oil wells.
White house spokes-creature ended with an upbeat proclamation:
“The beating will continue until morale improves.”
