#1 Congress have anything to say in this, or will they abrogate their responsibilities and let unelected bureaucrats set policy?

SOP, that way they can try to blame someone else. They also do the same thing by allowing activist judges to do their jobs as well. In the end, people won't miss them when they're gone [other than the savings on generous retirement and healthcare plans they put in place for them and their families.]

#2 Small businesses such as farms, restaurants and many other types of small facilities would not be included in these requirements, ~~yet~~

#4 No problem. Just shut down all of the power plants, auto factories, oil refineries and anything else that generates CO2. This is a win-win from the viewpoint of the greenies: it cuts greenhouse gasses, much more that Kyoto would require; it throws the US into a deep economic depression; it cripples the US military since there won't be enough taxes coming in to pay for them. As I said, win-win.

#5 The Hell bent race to control "greenhouse gases" is nothing more than an international movement to establish a form of neo-colonialism upon countries "willing to participate" in "saving the planet". How does it work, you the totally "uneducated, unempowered dolt" is going to be forced to submit your "money, freedom of economic choice and political rights" and to a "united nations treaty" which will mandate what type of car you can buy, food you can eat, travel options(rationing of air travel if you do not have enough 'carbon credits'). Are you going to accept this ?
