-The Supreme Court on Monday placed limits on the sole O stanley termoska bama administration program already in place to deal with power plant and factory emissions of gases blamed for global warming.The justices said that the Environmental Protection Agency lacks authority in some cases to force companies to evaluate ways to reduce carbon dioxide stanley puodelis emissions. This rule applies when a company needs a permit to expand facilities or build new ones that would increase overall pollution. Carbon dioxide is the chief gas linked to global warming.The decision does not affect EPA proposals for first-time national standards for new and existing power plants. The most recent proposal aims at a 30 percent reduction in greenhouse stanley termohrnek gas emissions by 2030, but won t take effect for at least another two years. The outcome also preserves EPA s authority over facilities that already emit pollutants that the agency regulates other than greenhouse gases. EPA called the decision a win for our efforts to reduce carbon pollution because it allows EPA, states and other permitting authorities to continue to require carbon pollution limits in permits for the largest pollution sources. 5 Supreme Court decisions to watch forSupreme Court tosses out vague software patentJustice Antonin Scalia, writing for the court, said EPA is getting almost everything it wanted in this case.

We truly are in never-neverland. First, the Bush administration did something to protect an animal species. Yes, that s what I said. The Bush administratio stanley cup n did something pro-environment, for a change. That in and of itself is history-making.But wait--it gets better. In protecting the beluga whale in Alaska, the Bush administration directly contravened the antienvironment administration of, you guessed it, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. The Bush administration declared, according to the Los Angeles Times,a small, isolated population of beluga whales in Alaska s Cook Inlet as endangered species, rejecting arguments from Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin that these small, white whales were on their way to recovery. The National Marine Fisheries Service decided to extend federal protections to these whales near Anchorage after their numbers declined nearly 50% in the 1990s and the whales failed to rebound despite a decade-long program to revive the species.Yes, folks, Palin who never met a species she wouldn t be happy to hunt into oblivion is, as usual, doing all she can to plunder Alaska s wilderness an termo stanley d destroy its sui generis wildlife. This time the joke s on her: She was undone by her v stanley website ery own GOP president. As a practical matter, the new protections mean that new offshore oil drilling, a new bridge and other industrial activities that involve federal dollars or scrutiny will have to show that they will not harm the estimated 375 beluga whale
