High Five For Lisa Jackson!

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson announced yesterday that green house gasses (GHGs) are a threat public health and the environment as indicated by an endangerment study finding. “In less than eleven months, we have done more to promote clean energy and prevent climate change than happened in the last eight years,” stated Lisa Jackson. Indeed, there has been more action on EPA’s part than it would ever be imaginable with the Bush administration. Go Lisa, go!

What does this mean? GHG regulations would fall under EPA’s Clean Air Act giving EPA more authority in regulating GHGs than Congress. Question now is: How will GHGs be measured and regulated?
