Dozen States Slam EPA for Not Regulating Oil Refinery Emissions
The frequency with which the Environmental Protection Agency is sued would lead one to believe that the agency spends more time grappling with lawsuits than saving the environment. Just last week the EPA was sued for curbing the states’ power to enforce more stringent monitoring of the emission levels (not to mention the slew of court cases before that). And now it finds itself on the receiving end of yet another lawsuit.
Twelve states spearheaded by Andrew Cuomo, the NY Attorney General have taken EPA to the court for flouting the Clean Air Act by not not stipulating standards to regulate the emissions of oil refineries.
Cuomo said:
“The EPA’s refusal to control pollution from oil refineries is the latest example of the Bush Administration’s do-nothing policy on global warming..”
The fact that oil refineries emit a significant amount of greenhouse gases underlines the importance of setting CO2-slashing regulations. Let’s hope the court recognizes that and compels EPA to take corrective action.
