looks like I anticipated EPA greenhouse gases as unhealthy by one day earlier #43 Earth's Energy Future

In the news tonight was welcomed news that Lisa Jackson of the EPA had
proclaimed that greenhouse gases are a health hazard to the nation and
that
the President can now force standards on industry without needing
Congress to
sit and wait around and do nothing as they usually do nothing. And
this proclamation
by EPA comes just days before the Climate Change Conference in
Copenhagen.

Funny how I thought it was a no brainer that air pollution of
greenhouse gases are
not only warming up the planet but that those pollutions are utterly
harmful to human
heath. I believe that many of the diseases of the 20th century were
due to air pollution
and specifically that of the abundance of the chemical mercury spewn
into the air
we breathe from coal fired electric plants and oil refineries.

And that if we turn to geothermal to replace all oil and coal, that we
clean up the air
of its mercury and that some of these diseases then decline such as
alzheimer's,
parkinson's, prion, schizophrenia, and especially autism.

Now if the EPA were to announce a tighter control over the mercury
filled lamps of
fluorescent lamps were required to pay a large deposit and to be
recycled back to the
store where bought or outright simply banned, then the EPA would be
doing a A++ job.

Also, in one of my posts a few days ago I mentioned the idea that
Obama find a way
to circuit, or to skirt around the Health Care Reform via executive
order and to avoid
congress altogether. So that the EPA is using the Clean Air Act to
make executive
orders on greenhouse gases skirts around congress. In the same manner,
find a
preexisting law to make Health Care Reform an executive order and let
the Congresspeople
yakkity yak all they want.

So a modern USA president should always look first for a way of doing
something
via "executive order" and skirt Congress as much as possible.

For it appears that Congress is more for their party then they are for
the "American people"
and that Congress is seldom for the American people in all their
deliberations. It appears
that the Republican Party has not done one single good deed in the
whole of the year 2009
in Congress. And it is sort of a joke as to which is more broken down
(a) the health care
system or (b) Congress of the USA, for it seems that are broken down
and sick.

So is there some executive order that can skirt around all of Congress
and give us a
new health care system? I remember when Jimmy Carter invoked the
Antiquities Act
to enact the national parks in Alaska. So can Obama invoke the
Antiquities Act by
saying that Congress is too sick and fossilized of a segment of
government and thus a Health Care
Bill is signed into law from executive order? This is why China is
steamrolling ahead of
the USA in terms of gaining world power, because our government takes
years to
settle a problem that should take weeks.
