“EPA
possesses only the authority granted to it by Congress. Its gambit
here raises serious questions under the separation of powers… because EPA
is attempting to exercise lawmaking power that belongs to Congress and
judicial power that belongs to the federal courts.”
“Burning
the Constitution should not become part of our national energy policy.”
Tribe made these statements as he testified before the
congress on the EPA’s illegal plan to limit carbon dioxide. The hearing
was on the EPA’s “Clean Power Plan” that not only would raise energy
prices through the roof but could also lead to a large number of deaths.
The last two years extremely bitter cold has made it’s way all the way
across America. During that time, our power grids have been strained to
their limits. This has resulted in brownouts. By reducing energy
into the power grid, those brownouts become blackouts and especially in rural
America can lead to death and or frost bite.
Tribe also testified: “EPA is attempting an unconstitutional trifecta:
usurping the prerogatives of the States, Congress and the Federal Courts
all at once.”
“The
[EPA’s rule] demonstrates the risk of allowing an unaccountable administrative
agency to ‘make’ law and attempt to impose the burden of global climate
change on an unlucky and unfortunate few,” wrote Tribe, who is on retainer
for the coal company Peabody Energy. “EPA’s singling out of a mere handful
of emitters and limiting (or curtailing) their property is exactly the
type of overreaching the Fifth Amendment seeks to prevent.”
The EPA rules will cut power production by 19%. A combination
of states are suing the EPA for usurpation of their sovereignty.
