Under orders from the Supreme Court, which the Bush administration ignored, President Obama's new head of the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to determine whether carbon dioxide is a pollutant that endangers public health. If the agency decides to regulate carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, the effect on transportation, manufacturing costs and power generation would be profound. Such a decision would also set off one of the most extensive regulatory rule makings in history.
Should the E.P.A. be the lead agency in regulating greenhouse gases? Is there a better way to carry out climate change initiatives?
