A GENUINE maverick, Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., previously was among a tiny handful of Democratic leaders brave enough to oppose former President Bush's ill-fated plunge into the Iraq War on false pretexts. (Barack Obama was another.)
Thursday, Byrd was a maverick again - almost the only coal-state Democrat who voted to let President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency begin controlling "greenhouse gas" pollution from coal-fired power plants, car exhausts and other fossil fuel combustion.

Virginia environmental officials announced plans Tuesday for controlling the flow of nutrient pollution into state waters from 117 sewage plants and industrial sites, including many in Hampton Roads and on the Eastern Shore .
Excessive nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, stemming from everyday sources including lawns, animal waste , car exhausts and fertilizers, are considered the biggest pollutants hampering the Chesapeake Bay today. They essentially choke waterways by stealing life-sustaining oxygen from them, and led in part to a massive "dead zone" in the middle of the Bay last summer.

A noise ordinance committee with the aim of protecting residents from everything from loud radios to car and motorcycle exhausts is in the works. But Guilford police have decided not to wait for local ordinances, issuing a flurry of summonses this past weekend based on state ordinances.

The Pilot's crafty auto editor Larry Printz has a passion for guy words, a vocabulary that transforms a car into a four-door bullet with the demonic growl of a scalded cat, lurching forward with incredible ferocity, thanks to its brawny, fire-breathing 416- horsepower V8 and four chrome exhausts that are pure car porn. Those of us who can't afford this sleek model can get the vicarious thrill of taking a spin with Larry and savoring the enchanting power as he glorifies a high-performance car as the holy grail of American transportation.

During the 1970s and '80s, we experienced a global cooling crisis. Government and industry employed considerable knowledge and strength to alleviate this problem. Millions were spent and many things were done to stop global cooling such as electrostatic precipitators or bag-houses on large smoke stacks to reduce particulate emissions and catalytic converters on car exhausts to reduce unburned hydrocarbon emissions.
It seems these things worked too well because Al Gore and many others tell us that we are now in a global warming crisis! Therefore to stop global warming, we just .

Attention drivers. Effective with model year 2014, all new vehicles sold in Delaware must comply with draconian California emissions standards that are more stringent than even federal regulations. Delaware won't be the last state where this happens.
The standards were imposed by Delaware Secretary of Natural Resources and Environmental Control Collin O'Mara, who unilaterally amended the state administrative code. These rules will bring "considerable benefits to human health and the environment," asserts Mr. O'Mara, a self-proclaimed "energy entrepreneur" from California.

As the rain changed to sleet and snow Monday, the telephone at Nick's 24-Hour Towing and Auto in Grapeville began to ring. And it rang all night.
What a treacherous night it was," said office manager Nicole Blazowich. "We were swamped. It got so bad, we couldn't even (immediately) help everybody. I told people to try to get a ride home, get to safety, and we would get to them in the morning.
