"EPA Considers Lawsuits Vs. 22 Utilities"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency is considering actions against nearly two dozen utilities for violating air pollution rules the Bush administration has been trying to make less burdensome to industry, according to agency officials.

No decision has been made whether to actually pursue the cases against all 22 utilities, although 14 of them already have been referred to the Justice Department, said one EPA official, who would discuss the matter only on condition of anonymity because the cases are pending.

The enforcement agenda reflects five years of preparation by EPA staff to identify alleged clean air violations by some of the country's largest utilities.

Neither the EPA nor the Justice Department would confirm or deny the pending enforcement actions Wednesday.

1. Man, I'd love to see this come true

However, I will believe ONLY when I see it.,

This actually has a 20% chance of coming true, rather than the usual 0% chance.

So, I'm actually optimistic here that smething might be done.

But...show me!

2. Yeah, they'll be getting right on these lawsuits

Right around the time I discover the AIDS vaccine, and hitch a ride on a UFO to Alpha Proximi, and am invited to head the Church of England.

EPA = Lying whores.
