The amount of air pollution that blows into New Jersey from out- of-state power plants will be greatly reduced under new federal regulations, officials announced Thursday. The Environmental Protection Agency's new Cross State Air Pollution Rules will clamp down on pollution produced in 27 states that causes smog and acid rain among other hazards.
Yet many people don't understand the connection between air pollution and asthma, and the importance of having clean air. Ozone smog doesn't cause asthma, but it can trigger asthma attacks and worsen emphysema and other lung diseases. Ozone smog triggered my acute asthma attack and others since then, setting me on search for answers. In time, I came to recognize the need for more power plants that don't pollute the air. What's more dangerous to an inner-city kid, a nuclear power plant or smog? The answer is obvious. You'd think that environmentalists would recognize nuclear power's merit, its obvious advantages over fossil fuels. Nationwide, power plants that use coal, oil and natural gas as fuel are responsible for 66 percent of the sulfur dioxide pollution that causes acid rain and so...

SEATTLE - Washington state's top polluter isn't a pulp mill, a power plant or refinery. It's the newly awakened Mount St. Helens. Since the volcano began erupting in early October, it has been pumping out 50 to 250 tons a day of sulfur dioxide, the lung- stinging gas that causes acid rain and contributes to haze.
Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey recently filed a federal lawsuit, charging that the corporate owners of three large coal-fired power plants in Pennsylvania have violated the Clean Air Act. Some of the plants have been operating since the 1950s with inadequate air pollution controls. The power plants are owned by Allegheny Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries. While major upgrades have been made to improve the plants' power-producing capacity, their owners have allegedly failed to install modern pollution controls as required by law. As a result, the plants emit thousands of tons of air pollution each year. That pollution causes smog and acid rain in Pennsylvania communities and nearby downwind states.

Whew. Liberals are breathing a sigh of relief after the Associated Press released a poll this past week showing that Tea Partiers are out of step with the rest of America. Doctrinaire liberal: "We just knew those people were wacko. Now we have proof. Another doctrinaire liberal: "Thank goodness for polls like this and a reliable outlet like AP, or Sarah Palin and her backwoods family might yet dance their way right into the White House."

Surfing the Internet is an interesting experience. One can have instant access to information from world-famous medical clinics, entire encyclopedias are online, and every document in the Library of Congress is accessible with the click of a button. We truly are living in the "Age of Information" when Google can produce 121 million results in just one-third of a second. This ready access to information by everyone who owns a computer reminds me of Daniel 12:4: "But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase." I'm told that the original words translated "rush here and there," mean people will be in such a state of mobility that they will be gasping for breath, and that "knowledge wi...

Environmental watchdogs will keep an eye on a coal-fired power plant in Springdale when it resumes operation in January without a pollution control measure in place. The Allegheny County Health Department has approved GenOn Energy's request to temporarily operate its Cheswick Power Station without the use of a recently installed scrubber that removes sulfur dioxide from its emissions.
