Oregon wants to ban aftermarket car parts
Give regulators an inch and they take a mile. This is what Oregon’s governor is proposing: “Restrictions and prohibitions on the sale and distribution of after-market motor vehicle parts, including but not limited to tires, if alternatives are available that decrease greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles;” This from a state that’s already $1.2 billion […]

California budget deal eases off-road emissions rules
The story from the Los Angeles Times is short on specifics, but long on weeping and wailing from the greens. This quote is so over the top that it’s almost satire: “There are people who will die because of this delay,” said Mary D. Nichols, chairman of the state Air Resources Board. “It is sad […]

EPA to declare carbon dioxide a dangerous pollutant
This little noticed news (the EPA put out their press release Friday, guaranteeing minimal coverage) reminds me of a joke. Two guys are sitting at a bar. First guy says, “Mind if I smoke?” Second guy says, “not at all.” First guy says, “thanks.” Second guy says, “but please don’t exhale.” Granted we pump out a lot […]

City or suburb: which has the biggest carbon footprint?
Surprisingly, this study shows urban apartments use more energy–up to 70 percent more–than comparable residences in the suburbs. This swats down the arguement favored by environmentalistfashionistas who want to round us all up and squeeze us into trendy, loft apartments. And this study doesn’t take into account all that carbon dioxide being sequestered by suburban lawns, shrubs and […]

EPA declares carbon dioxide a danger
We knew this was coming. Now the only debate is whether the EPA will get authority to write the regulations governing the amount of carbon dioxide any business, equipment or vehicle can emit, or whether congress will write it’s own cap-and-trade style regulations. Congress has authority to take the lead. Either way you can bet […]

Doubts cast on EPA’s role in regulating carbon dioxide
The EPA’s big power grab, setting itself up to regulate carbon dioxide as a threat to human health, may be in trouble. According to a memo from the Office of Management and Budget, the premise that CO2 is a toxic substance rests on “dubious assumptions and could have negative economic effects.” When pressed for an […]

Emissions: trains worse than planes
Researchers at the University of California Berkeley have deduced that when it comes to emissions of greenhouse gasses and consumption of fossil fuels, you’re doing the planet a favor if you take a plane rather than a train. This robs the current administration of an environmental justification for its plans to launch for a national network of […]
