Re: Grist for the mill--Climate Change Shenanigans
Funny thing about that, in 81, when the Gov't studies began, Reagan was in office, in 90, when the law was enacted, GHW Bush was in office, two Republicans, imagine that...

Re: Grist for the mill--Climate Change Shenanigans
Now guys,,,I don't think we should ding BO about the PP. It's not like he solicited the damn thing...so ragging him about it is, IMO, unfair.

Re: Grist for the mill--Climate Change Shenanigans
It does illustrate a number of his character traits however, especially his sense of entitlement and massive personal ego. At the end of the day however, he's simply a Chicago political machine politician, and uses the thugocracy tactics of said fiefdom.

On Dec. 31, exactly 32 years after President Richard Nixon signed the Clean Air Act into law, the Bush administration announces significant rollbacks to New Source Review pollution control provisions. Highlights: 1. New rules will allow virtually all pollution increases from old, high-polluting sources to go unregulated. EPA will allow companies to avoid updating emission controls if their plant’s equipment has been reviewed at any time within the past decade, and the measures used to calculate emissions levels will be reconfigured. 2. The review process built into NSR will be drastically scaled back. Until now, when facilities wanted to expand their production, thereby increasing their emissions, they would have to apply for permission and undergo EPA scrutiny and public comment. The rollback will do away with this requirement. Communities will now not know when a nearby power plant is increasing the amount of pollutants pumped into their backyards. The new regulations are slated to go into effect in March 2003. http://www.edf.org/documents/2695_cleanairact.htm Republican pres. & congress. Imagine that. |

Re: Grist for the mill--Climate Change Shenanigans
In 1977 President Jimmy Carter's Council of Environmental Quality was asked to develop a national acid rain research program. Several scientists drafted a report that eventually became the basis for the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP). Carter's initiative eventually translated into legislative action with the passage of the Energy Security Act (PL 96–264) in June 1980. Title VII of the Act (the Acid Precipitation Act of 1980) created the NAPAP and authorized federally financed support.
