Over the last 12 years, we sued EPA over and over, and we won over and over," says James Pew, an attorney with Earthjustice, the environmental law firm that headed the campaign for regulation. "There's a long string of court decisions saying, 'EPA, you're doing this wrong ...' They weren't terribly interested in what the courts said or what the law said.

Worldwide, cement production contributes significantly to climate change, with cement plants accounting for roughly 5 percent of manmade carbon dioxide emissions. Coal and petroleum coke are the most common fuel sources, but a number of plants are permitted to burn "alternative" fuels, including slaughterhouse waste, old tires and railroad ties. (Cemen...

In 1999, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia found the EPA in violation of the Clean Air Act and gave the agency two years to issue new rules for cement kilns. It was a deadline the EPA failed - and would repeatedly feil - to meet. "Over the last 12 years, we sued EPA over and over, and we won over and over," says James Pew, an attorney with Earthjustice, the environmental law firm that headed the campaign for regulation. "There's a long string of court decisions saying, 'EPA, you're doing this wrong. . . .' They weren't terribly interested in what the courts said or what the law said.

Three petroleum industry executives are profiled. Lance Byrd, co-owner of Sendero Energy & CEO of Daunis Energy, absorbed as much industry knowledge as possible before pursuing a career in oil. After working as a contract landman, he craved more in-house exposure to all components of the industry. Persistence paid off for Byrd as he got his break with Maguire Oil Co and gained industry experience. Back by his belief of giving his best effort, Jay Allison, chairman, president & CEO of Comstock Resources, went on to earn not one, but three degrees from Baylor. Before embarking on his career, Allison built a strong academic foundation that would benefit him in the future. After working as an audit partner, Danny Bowlin, SVP & CFO of Hunt Petroleum, redirected his financial expe...

EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017- 2025. This proposal, consistent with the President's request, responds to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. NHTSA is proposing C...
