This seems to belong in the Political Forum and not in the touring forum. The article does not even mention motorcycles!

You didn’t read the article it does mention motorcycles greatly affect every motorcycle out there. This is not meant to be a left or right thing if you like to tour on your bike you better get active Your rights as a motorcyclist are fading away.

Where?

Stop the EPA Powergrab!

The Obama Administration is pursuing perhaps its biggest power grab yet. Climate Czar Carol Browner is trying to have the EPA regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant under the 1970 Clean Air Act, a sweeping global warming regulatory agenda without a vote of Congress.

Their biggest problem is the law. The 1970 Clean Air Act clearly does not allow them to regulate the way they want. If the EPA insists on shoehorning greenhouse gas regulation into the 1970 Clean Air Act, the result will be regulation of millions of businesses, warehouses, and even schools. Instead, they want to create new rules pretending the law says something it doesn’t.

They call it the “tailoring rule,” because they are attempting to tailor their regulations to just the particular industries they want to regulate. Even worse, the tailoring rule is unlikely to be effective, instead opening up a floodgate of regulations from state regulators and judges who will not be bound by the EPA rule. They will be free to regulate everything that moves and lots of things that don’t.

Any new EPA Standards would not take effect until 2016.....lot of things and tech can change a great deal in that long of a period of time in today's world.

This kind of right wing alarmist crap doesn't belong here. Every time the EPA proposes a new regulation, the industries that stand to loose a lot of money squeal like stuck pigs and try to make us think that we're the ones getting hurt. This forum is supposed to be touring harley specific. Let's keep it that way.

I hear ya....we'll stop the socialists in the next election. They got stomped in the Va and NJ governer's races last Nov. and they'll lose many house seats next November.

Motorcycle content; Should I ride today or not?
