The Obama administration has said it will regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants amid opposition from industry and Republicans in Congress.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said it would regulate emissions from fossil fuel power plants by 2011 and petroleum refineries by 2012.
The new rules are expected to limit the amount of carbon dioxide a plant can emit per each megawatt hour of electricity produced.
The petition is no joke.
If people are being harmed by CO2 emissions, then they can sue the emitters in civil court for damages. No regulatory body is required.
Rich companies can afford the fine. Their smaller competitors can not.

If a man is accused of damaging someone's property, then he should be afforded a proper trial.
