In Texas, Resistance Over Stricter U.S. Smog Limits
By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr.
Published: February 3, 2010
Summary:Environmentalists squared off against business groups and Texas state officials on Thursday at a hearing on the Obama administration’s proposal to tighten standards for smog-producing pollutants, a change that could improve the health of millions but would impose burdensome costs on industry and local governments. The hearing, before a panel of federal environmental officials, was one of three being held around the country on the proposed new standards, which would replace those set by the Bush administration in March 2008.
Response: This is funny because we just learned about this and it is also good because air pollution is a serious thing our government should really crack down.
