US EPA must regulate car pollution
Bush sure can’t catch a break on the climate change issue.
In a 5-4 decision, the court said the Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from cars.
Massachusetts Attorney General, Martha Coakley, states : “Despite acknowledging that global warming poses serious dangers to our environment and health, the Bush Administration has done little or nothing to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of today’s landmark ruling, EPA can no longer hide behind the fiction that it lacks any regulatory authority to address the problem of global warming.”
Of course The EPA could just mandate that Detroit make more flex fuel vehicles to get around this pesky little ruling.
