Raising social involvement, self awareness and self improvement topics, because our communities are the sum of our personal beliefs, behaviors, action or inaction. Only "we" can improve our family, work place, school, city, country, etc.

"EPA calculates that the plan will return $7 in public health benefits for every $1 spent on compliance."
The EPA is insane. There is ZERO public health benefit to reducing CO2. There is presently 10,000 times the CO2 concentration in your lungs as there is in the atmosphere. If it were harmful, you'd die with your first breath. But of course, the whole "public health" thing is just a smokescreen anyway, because the real intent is to reduce so-called global warming, and by EPA's own numbers, that amounts to 0.018 degrees over the next 20 years! Even if their crystal ball is 100% right, anybody think you can find a negative health effect from 18/1000 of a degree? It's more likely positive.
The $7 benefit is surely offset by the number of people in the coal and gas industries who will lose their jobs, by the number of people dying from lack of electrical heat or food storage or air conditioning, or losing their jobs because of a lack of cheap electricity, all of that UNNECESSARY and without any real benefit. EPA should have said that the benefits are $1000 per $1 of cost. The number would be no less imaginary.
