Biden’s handlers have been leading him into unconstitutional actions. And finally he’s being sued by 12 states over his trillion dollar executive order on climate change.
Fox Business reported– A coalition of 12 states is suing Biden’s administration over a climate executive order that they claim has the potential to have a serious economic impact across the country through the expansion of federal regulatory power.
The suit, which is being led by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, was filed on Monday. State attorneys general from Arkansas, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Utah also joined the action.
The suit alleges that Biden’s Executive Order 13990, titled “Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis,” does not have the authority to issue binding numbers for the “social cost” of greenhouse gases to be used in federal regulations.
The breakdown of the social costs shows $269 billion for carbon dioxide, $990 billion for methane, and $8.24 trillion for nitrous oxide – totaling approximately $9.5 trillion, according to the lawsuit, which cited interim values determined by an interagency working group that was created by Biden’s order.
Schmitt said that those potential regulations will stifle manufacturing and harm agriculture in Missouri, where state figures show that hundreds of thousands of people work in those industries.
“Under Biden’s executive order, which he didn’t have the authority to enact, these hard-working Missourians who have lived and worked this land for generations, could be left in the dust,” Schmitt said in a written press release.
But the suit claims that the impact from the $9.5 trillion “social cost” of greenhouse gases will stretch farther than just Missouri.
“In practice, this enormous figure will be used to justify an equally enormous expansion of federal regulatory power that will intrude into every aspect of Americans’ lives— from their cars, to their refrigerators and homes, to their grocery and electric bills,” the suit states.
If there’s any thing Democrats love it’s an “enormous expansion of federal regulatory power”, and they use it to try and kill industries that they don’t like, like the coal industry.
Appears what they intend to do here, by forcing companies to pay tons of money for expensive filtering technology to ‘scrub’ greenhouse gasses from their emissions. These ‘social costs’, whatever their eventual impact, could very well bankrupt companies – unless they are stopped.
What say you Def-Con News readers? Will the states be successful in the vacillating and capricious court system in blocking this executive order before it does any real damage?
