Help Heritage fight harmful EPA regulations
Heritage has launched a new website, StopEPA.com, to keep the Environmental Protection Agency “from hijacking the economy” with its proposed new regulations on carbon dioxide.
Intended to fight global warming, these regulations would impose tremendous costs on ordinary Americans.

Here are the important facts on this issue:
Costs to Ordinary Americans. These regulations will drive up gas prices, food prices, transportation costs, and the price of manufactured goods. Regular Americans will even have to carefully monitor their own greenhouse gas emissions in order to comply with the confusing EPA regulations.
Red Tape for Ordinary Americans. Americans could be forced to get federal permits if they use common household tools like lawnmowers or own homes that the EPA deems to use too much energy.
Lost Jobs. The higher energy costs and regulatory excess will cost millions of jobs.
Impact on Small Businesses. Many small businesses could be forced to close since they are less able to absorb the higher costs of energy, transportation, and goods, and less equipped to deal with the legal red tape of complying with such regulations. The red tape could keep entrepreneurs from starting the new companies that are at the heart of our economy.
Impact on All Businesses. Businesses small and large will be forced to pay massive new energy taxes. The red tape could keep entrepreneurs from starting new companies and ventures that are at the heart of our economy.
Reduced International Competitiveness. The massive new regulatory burden on domestic manufacturers will not apply to foreign producers, putting American businesses at a disadvantage.
