Congress, EPA Playing Good Cop, Bad Cop On Climate Law

U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, a key figure in drafting climate legislation, has warned industry representatives that they can either work with Congress to draft a bill reducing greenhouse gas emissions or face potentially tougher regulation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Speaking at a clean energy conference, the chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy and Global Warming said that the EPA is soon expected to rule that greenhouse gas emissions pose a threat to public health and should be regulated under the Clean Air Act.
