Two Governors Threaten to Draw Their Guns and Settle Tailpipe Dispute with the EPA "Once and for All"

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gov. Jodi M. Rell of Connecticut railed against the EPA in an op-ed today in the Washington Post. The EPA is STILL preventing states from raising their own auto emissions standards. This is the same case over which the state of California sued the EPA--and won last month. Twelve states are poised to tighten tailpipe standards beyond existing federal law, but for more than a year, the EPA has refused to allow it.

Even after the Supreme Court ruled in our favor last month, the federal government continues to stand in our way. Another discouraging sign came just last week, when President Bush issued an executive order to give federal agencies until the end of 2008 to continue studying the threat of greenhouse gas emissions and determine what can be done about them.

As we blogged, a clear majority of Americans in surveys say they are really worried about climate change. Seven in 10 want more "much more" federal action .

Like gubernatorial cowboys, the two also threatened that if the administration and the EPA continue this way, they will "take legal action and settle this issue once and for all." Bring it on!

Comments

I can't tell if April agrees with Schwartzenegger or not, based on her 'Bring it on!' comment. The EPA has been following other federal agencies like the FDA who are letting Bush slacken what otherwise should be very tight regulatory agencies. Shame on them, shame on Bush, and shame on us for letting it happen.

Shame on this cowboy mentality "Two Governors Threaten to Draw Their Guns". This mentality of settling disputes with force and violence must stop. Just give peace a chance.

It is clear the American government is clearly not on the side of protecting the environment and the future of generations of Americans to come. It is up to us as individual States to fight for our future and the future of younger Americans to come.

Confused: yes, I agree with the two governors very much on this issue.
Suzy: They are not drawing guns literally, just threatening to sue. Legal guns. Hope the figure of speech didn't mislead anyone.

During one of my recent evening walks I was studying the trees along a major street; where it’s a heavy volume of traffic flowing through it every day.

For some reason or another, I noticed the top of the tree having a different color than the bottom half.

I stood there for a few minutes and was truly puzzled, traffic started to flow again after the light had turn green, and the cars started to pass in front of me, I notice the fumes coming from the exhaust of these cars.

I started to really examine all of these trees along this block and each of them has the same look where emissions from vehicles are sticking to them.

At this rate, it’s just a matter of time where all of these different types of emissions regardless what tail pipe it’s coming from will suffocate nature and what we assume will never die, will.

Pray for Peace, God Bless.
