Green groups give EPA more time on CO2 rule

CO2 is the big one. Personally, I think its more important than the Keystone XL pipeline, even though that's getting more attention. EPA has delayed issuing the CO2 rule twice.

Green groups give EPA more time on CO2 rule

Quote:Green groups said on Saturday they would give the Environmental Protection Agency more time to forge the first-ever plan to regulate carbon dioxide from power plants, the country's single biggest source of greenhouse gases.

The Environmental Defense Fund and other green groups that are negotiating with the EPA on the deadline for the plan said they would withhold legal action against the agency until November 30. They, along with New York, California and several other states, had sued the agency to issue the carbon rules.

In a letter to the Department of Justice sent late Friday night, the petitioners said they had agreed to give the agency more time, "In light of the progress made to date."

I take this article as a good sign. If enviro groups are agreeing not to sue then they must be getting positive signals that they won't need to.

that is very good to hear. i agree: "If enviro groups are agreeing not to sue then they must be getting positive signals that they won't need to." that would be a great relief. here's hoping, with you!

thank you for posting that, Willinois.
