The Environmental Protection Agency has sent its final scientific finding on greenhouse gases to the White House, a step that could trigger regulation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as pollutants under the Clean Air Act. Sources said the document concludes the emissions pose a threat to the public's health and welfare. The Office of Management and Budget now has 90 days to sign off on it.
Josh Dorner, a spokesman for Clean Energy Works, says this step enforces that one way or another a significant portion of U.S. emissions will be regulated very, very soon. Keith McCoy, vice president for energy and resources policy at the National Association of Manufacturers, says they're concerned that EPA is moving forward before Congress.
