Courts Say EPA Broke the Law...Bush Disagrees Print E-mail

The Bush administration is appealing a recent legal defeat of an EPA decision that would allow power plants to emit more mercury, the Associated Press reported this afternoon.

A February ruling by a circuit court panel that found EPA in violation of the Clean Air Act for allowing plants to purchase emissions credits instead of forcing every plant to cut mercury emissions. So...now the president is appealing a court decision that said that the EPA is breaking its own law. Confusing enough for you?

As of 7:30 p.m. eastern time, neither agency had a statement on its website about the appeal. More on this story as it develops.

Hi, We're EnviroWonk

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.

So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
