SUMMARY
The EPA has proposed that it can regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. The comment period for its regulation of greenhouse emissions of cars and light trucks ends this Friday and we need to let them know what we think of this power grab. Below is (1) a sample letter that you can e-mail directly to the EPA at a-and-r-Docket@epa.gov, (2) information on other ways to submit, and (3) links to further information on this issue.
1. SAMPLE EMAIL/FAX
Attn: Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0472
RE: Proposed Rulemaking to Establish Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards and Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards
I value the safety of my family and your proposed regulations would endanger them because it would effectively mandate that vehicles be less safe.
Also, with unemployment over 10%, this is no time to create new, costly, and unnecessary regulations.
Over 30,000 American scientists are skeptical of UN IPCC's CO2 alarmism (see petitionproject.org) that is the basis for your proposed regulations. The recently released East Anglia e-mails confirm that scientists are right to be skeptical.
Sincerely,
(your name and address)
