EPA Action Threatens Ohio Jobs

And it is not like we have them to spare, right?

From the Coalition For American Jobs who will be running ads on the issue in Ohio:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may soon take action that could jeopardize the nation’s job creation agenda and lead to significant burdens on energy-efficient technology investment, state resources, and the ability to move forward on a reasonable climate policy.

As early as March 2010, the EPA plans to issue rules regulating greenhouse gases (GHGs) from new cars and light trucks.  Once EPA issues the rule, it’s required under the Clean Air Act to regulate GHG emissions at as many as six million of America’s industrial facilities, power plants, hospitals, small businesses and commercial establishments, known as “stationary sources.”  EPA and the states will have to issue permits to each new regulated stationary source and to existing sources that make major modifications.

And here is the ad:

It is easy to lose sight of this issue with all the other debates happening but this is a real disaster in the making.
