Texas to EPA: Drop Dead and/or FYNQ
— Ace

A strongly-worded letter, but usually softly worded ones are sent.

The EPA is trying to backdoor cap and trade carbon restrictions via executive power since they don't have any, you know, actual constitutionally-promulgated legislative power to do so.

Texas' own board of environmental quality disputes they can do this -- and harshly.

"In order to deter challenges to your plan for centralized control of industrialized development through the issuance of permits for greenhouse gases, you have called upon each state to <>declare its allegiance to the Environmental Protection Agency's recently enacated greenhouse gas regulations -- regulations that are plainly contrary to United States law. ..... To encourage acquiesence with your unsupported findings you threaten to usurp state enforcment authority and to federalize the permitting program of any state that fails to pledge their fealty to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)."

I found the salutation/signoff a little aggressive, too:

But first, you will blow me,

Attorney General Greg Abbot
TECQ Chief Bryan Shaw

/enc

But I like that they added a personal touch.

Thanks to awkward davies and Herr Morgenholz.

I'd publicly accuse the EPA of not only illegally claiming the power to legislate what they can't convince Congress to pass legally, but of attacking what little sovereignty States have left by trying to suborn State environmental agencies.

And THEN I would tell them to blow me. And they have to pay for dinner.

37 ~ tap tap tap tap tap ~

This is on?  I can hear myself - echo! echo, echo - is good. 

And, so, welcome to the show of Hadji.  I am Hadji, your Muslim comic.  In case any of you are wondering ... yes I am a muslim and yes, this button I am holding in my hand is a deadman's switch. 

So, if you fail to laugh at the merriment here it will be as if are in a Michael Bay movie.  But only for a very short time.

Do we understand?  If so, let me hear some laughter.

Good.

I keed.  This is just the opening device for my garage door. 

Today I was reading about your state of Texas.  It gave the Obama Environmental Protection Agency a what-for today.  If I did not know better I would say that Texas will soon become Israel - a state surrounded by enemies with only a bit of coastline to get goods in.    Fortunately for Texas, Turkey is an ocean away.

Actuall, on second thought - fortunately for Turkey there is an ocean between them.

I would not want to be the person living in Texarkana - or Texahoma - or Texiana or Texemexico or other places near where the Texas border is.  The number of pickup trucks carrying guns will be as stars in the night sky.

Do you know what the word in Texas is for "safety" - neither do they.

Do you know what a Texas calls his gun? 
He does not need to call it because he carries it with him at all times.

Do you know the difference between an IED and a Texan?
An IED blows itself up.  A Texan shoots you and then drinks beer.

What is the difference between Pearl Beer and isopropyl alcohol distilled through the liver of an armadillo?    
0.001%

It is true.  I was caught by the religious police with a Pearl beer in my hand.  They threatened to cut off the hand that held the beverage and burn my tongue which had tasted the forbidden.  But then one took a sip to verify the drink before punishment - I remember his words as if Mohammed, peace be upon him, said them to me - "He's suffered enough".  And off they went.

And off I go now.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou

Tip your waitresses.  They are whores, yes, but whores need money, too.

102 @100 I went to the Cadillac bar about 5 years ago before the drug war heated up. Still same great shithole it always was. I miss our somewhat friendly chicle selling neighbor to the south. Only thing to really worry about then was Montezuma's revenge and the occassional vampire strip club. Those were the days.

Oh my. I got kidnapped by mistake (I was just 16) by the '69 Sigma Chis my first night in college and we all sped down I-35  to Papagayos and those Slo Gin Fizzes at the Cadillac Bar after we were able to stand up again after the chicitas were finished with us..

My belated review: Papagayo's was a hell of a lot better (and cheaper) than the Chicken Ranch in LaGrange, no offense to Dolly Parton or ZZ Top..

I've said for nearly 20 years the Mark won't be a big red 666 on the forehead, it's going to be a chip.  RDIF technology, access to your bank account, and with a cashless society, you won't be able to buy a loaf of bread without the thing.

138 It's about effing time Greg Abbot did this.  Now maybe he can do something about the draconian Texas Environmental Quality Control nazis.  They already have regulations in place that put me at risk if I drive my older truck into the metromess.  If it gets "caught" by one of their mobile monitoring stations then I gotta "fix" it and bring it all the way back to the metromess to have it tested.  Buy hey, if they don't want me shopping over there or using the DFW airport then OK.

I've visited Texas many times in the past few years (cousins up and moved off in a huff), and I just can't get into it. The damn roads in Austin -- have to drive through parking lots all the time, weird one-way shit. No beach in Austin -- these lake-things have to do. San Antonio is boiling hot. Can this be heaven?

147 To All Supporters of CCP Beneficial Use:

As you know, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has published a proposal for regulation of coal combustion product (CCP) disposal.  The EPA is accepting public comments on the proposal until September 20, 2010.  Not only is disposal addressed in this document, but some beneficial uses are being questioned as legitimate and there is the possibility that CCP intended for disposal will be regulated as a hazardous waste.  A hazardous waste regulation of any kind will place a stain or stigma on CCP and cripple continued beneficial use.

Your support for continued beneficial use of CCP must be heard by the EPA. There are three ways that you can act to make your voice heardÂ…

Posted by: sTevo at August 06, 2010 05:00 AM (wX4TR)

148 1.IMMEDIATELY SEND A QUICK LETTER FOR ENTRY INTO THE PROPOSAL DOCKET.  
Two websites have model letters and instructions for your use. The Utility Solid Waste Activities Group and Citizens for Recycling First have set up an easy-to-use process. Links to these sites are below and on the ACAA website (www.acaa-usa.org).

Who should send a letter?  First YOU as an interested party. Second, encourage your CO-WORKERS in your organization to participate.  Plan a day on which your entire staff takes a few minutes to submit a letter from both sites.  Third, encourage your CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS to participate. Finally, be sure to include FAMILY AND SOCIAL CONTACTS - spouses, children, in-laws, out-laws, friends, acquaintances, and any other social contacts you have.

Posted by: sTevo at August 06, 2010 05:00 AM (wX4TR)

149 3.ATTEND A PUBLIC HEARING.  
The EPA will hold public hearings beginning on August 30, 2010. Interested parties will be allowed up to 3 minutes to express their views on the proposal.  While testimony is very important it is also important for the EPA to see the supporters of beneficial use at these events.  The schedule of the hearings follows along with the ACAA site coordinator.

August 30 – Arlington, VA – Pat Borders, Separation Technologies
September 2 – Denver, CO – Dave Goss, Consultant
September 8 – Dallas, TX – Bill Gehrmann, Headwaters
September 14 – Charlotte, NC – Lisa Cooper, PMI Ash Technologies
September 16 – Chicago, IL – Bob Spoerri, Beneficial Reuse

Posted by: sTevo at August 06, 2010 05:02 AM (wX4TR)

150 2. SEND YOUR OWN PERSONAL LETTER PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.  
We encourage you to submit your own individual and/or organizational letter with your specific concerns about the proposal.  For details on how to submit comments go to this link:

155 The EPA just forced all ships bringing goods to Alaska to switch to the more expensive, (50 cents more per gallon) low sulfur diesel. That's going to cost us big time. Nearly everything comes here by barge or some other manner of waterborne shipping. Just one more step on the road to economic destruction...to be followed by the Marxist dream of his father. Pricks.
