[...] last month an unlikely consortium of ten corporate leaders from the energy, manufacturing, and financial sectors called for phased-in mandatory government caps on carbon dioxide emissions and a cap-and-trade system similar to the one that proved effective in reducing acid rain. Unfortunately, the remainder of his speech offered only negligible solutions for the nation's energy and environmental problems, and served as yet another reminder that leadership on these crucial issues will not be forthcoming from this White House.
", originally self-published by Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus in 2004, argues that environmentalism is unable to deal with climate change and should "die" so that a new paradigm can emerge that can. The essay draws on history, political philosophy, and interviews with over two dozen leaders of large and small environmental organizations and foundations, including the Sierra Club, the Hewlett Foundation, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Shellenberger and Nordhaus suggest that the 20 year failure to reduce emissions is due in part to the unwillingness of environmental leaders to expand their conception of 'the environment' to include humans and economic development. Since this essay was published Shellenberger and Nordhaus authored Break Th...

On May 3, 2011, under authority of Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 111 and 112, the EPA proposed both national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) from coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units (EGUs) and standards of performance for fossil-fuel-fired electric utility, industrial-commercial- institutional, and small industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units (76 FR 24976). After consideration of public comments, the EPA is finalizing these rules in this action. Pursuant to CAA section 111, the EPA is revising standards of performance in response to a voluntary remand of a final rule. Specifically, we are amending new source performance standards (NSPS) after analysis of the public comments we received. We are also finalizing several mi...

Last fall's Detroit meeting on reducing carbon emissions was timely as Congress is in the process of shaping carbon emission proposals and the media is highlighting carbon-related issues. After years of inactivity on this issue, the US may finally be poised to regulate so-called greenhouse gases (GHGs). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the major source of such GHG emissions, making up 75% to 80% of the total volume. Howard Gruenspecht, US DOE, Energy Information Administration (EIA), provided a GHG policy perspective and evaluated bills to limit carbon emissions that have been proposed in Congress. International cooperation on this issue is essential, Gruenspecht said, since reductions by all major emitters will be required to significantly reduce GHG concentrations. The time horizon over which ...

This final rule is being issued as required by a consent decree governing the schedule for completion of this review of the air quality criteria and the secondary national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for oxides of nitrogen and oxides of sulfur. Based on its review, the EPA is retaining the current nitrogen dioxide (NO<INF>2</INF>) and sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) secondary standards to address the direct effects on vegetation of exposure to gaseous oxides of nitrogen and sulfur and, for reasons described in detail in this final preamble, is not adding new standards at this time to address effects associated with the deposition of oxides of nitrogen and sulfur on sensitive aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In addition, in this rule the EPA describes...
