"an undue burden"

Would it surprise you to learn that EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson has no grasp of basic economics? This news article gives us her perspective:

Here is her view of economic interactions:

• "By using the power and authority of the Clean Air Act, we can begin reducing emissions from the nation's largest greenhouse gas-emitting facilities without placing an undue burden on the businesses that make up the vast majority of our economy," EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said. "We know the corner coffee shop is no place to look for meaningful carbon reductions."

In her mind raising the costs for large industries has no effect on small business. Maybe she intends to subsidize the increased costs of raw materials, electricity, and transportation that will be borne by all small businesses.
