WASHINGTON - A federal appeals court on Wednesday blocked new Bush administration changes to the Clean Air Act from going into effect, in a challenge from state attorneys general and cities that argued they would harm the environment and public health.
The Environmental Protection Agency rule would have made it easier for utilities, refineries and other industrial facilities to make repairs in the name of routine maintenance without installing additional pollution controls.
Good news. I had thought this change was already in effect.
That's it..the courts are unpatriotic and antiamerican!!!!
Jeez. The next thing you know they'll be saying I can't take my snowmobile into Yellowstone.....
Oh.
Score one for the breathers.
Did you know one of the provisions exempted oilfield production operations from the act? This was a joyful headline in the local paper a few weeks ago.
One of the best xmas presents ever!
