Maybe We Should Just Hold Our Breath for a Few Years?

Maybe We Should Just Hold Our Breath for a Few Years?

On NPR’s Marketplace John Walke explains the twisted logic behind EPA’s controversial new power plant rules that would technically allow power plants to pollute more, while pretending to keep overall emissions in check… An editorial on the same topic in the Washington Post calls for opposition to the power plant rule, and in a McClatchy Newspaper article John Walke speaks at length about the shortcomings of the power plant rules, as well as internal EPA discontent with the rules… New York Times Green Inc blog addresses the future of biofuels in the aviation industry and NRDC’s partnership with Boeing and other airlines to research biofuel jet-fuel options… Dateline Earth, the environmental blog of the Seattle Post Intelligencer chides the Bush administration for trying to pass damaging changes to the Endangered Species Act and directs readers to Andrew Wetzler’s equally reproachful blog entries on the topic.
