Democrats Want to Destroy the Plastics Industry

[BattleswarmBlog] Congressional Democrats are offering up a bill whose effects will be to destroy the American plastics industry and drive manufacturing to China:
Nothing says "For the American Worker" like destroying U.S. industry and putting thousands of people out of work.
Republican lawmakers are raising concerns that provisions in the sweeping climate bill from top House Democrats would stifle the plastics industry.

One late addition to the nearly 1,000-page piece of legislation, known as the CLEAN Future Act, is meant to curb greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution emitted from the petrochemical facilities that produce plastics or the raw materials used to make plastics.

Most significantly, the bill would impose a temporary pause on air pollution permits needed for approval of new plastics production facilities.

The legislation also directs the Environmental Protection Agency to issue new greenhouse gas and air pollution controls for these facilities within three years, including requiring plastics production plants to use zero-emissions power and improve emissions monitoring.
There is no such thing as zero emissions.

That project was expected to create many thousands of jobs. Is that gone too?
