Not Everyone Can Be a Decider Timing of EPA decision on vehicle greenhouse-gas regulation still a mystery |
|
05 Mar 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 10:18 AM on 05 Mar 2008 When will the U.S. EPA decide whether to regulate vehicle greenhouse-gas emissions? EPA head Stephen Johnson testified in the Senate Tuesday that he just couldn't say, even though it's been nearly a year since the agency was directed by the Supreme Court to make that decision. When asked whether any EPA staffers were currently working on the issue, Johnson s ... |

Whaling and Gnashing of Teeth Norway says whale consumption is good for the planet |

News |
| Posted at 4:53 PM on 04 Mar 2008 Eating whale meat is better for the planet than eating beef, pork, or chicken, according to a comparative carbon-emissions calculation by Norwegian lobbying group the High North Alliance. Says the alliance's Rune Froevik, in what may be a bit of an exaggeration, "Basically it turns out that the best thing you can do for the planet is to eat whale meat compared to other types ... |

The League of Extraordinary Conditions EPA releases unconvincing justification for denying California waiver |
|
29 Feb 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 9:54 AM on 29 Feb 2008 For the long wait that preceded it, the U.S. EPA's just-released justification for disallowing California to regulate vehicle greenhouse-gas emissions is rather anticlimactic. The 48-page document argues that California lacks the "compelling and extraordinary conditions" required for special regulatory permission, because the rest of the nation ... |

Cap and Evade Companies not following through on pledge to lobby for carbon reduction |

22 Feb 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 12:48 PM on 22 Feb 2008 Companies participating in the U.S. Climate Action Partnership have pledged to lobby for a mandatory cap on U.S. carbon emissions, but -- and there's always a but -- many of those same corporations are working behind the scenes to undermine greenhouse-gas regulation. Just a few examples: USCAP members General Electric and Caterpillar sit on the board of a group called the Cente ... |

How Crude Midwest refineries source more crude from tar sands; emissions will rise |
|
12 Feb 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 12:39 PM on 12 Feb 2008 Emissions from Midwest oil refineries are expected to jump by up to 40 percent in the next 10 years, thanks in large part to an industry-wide trend of sourcing crude oil from Canada's tar sands. The sands produce petroleum of such poor quality that it requires more energy -- and thus more pollution -- to process it into usable fuel. The trend flies in the face of national and regi ... |

How Romney said, and we quote, "I side with states being able to make their own decisions, even if I don't always agree with the decisions they make"? Well, the Mittster, a fervent ... |
