Letter to the editor
Not
only is the Bush administration failing to provide leadership in
reducing global warming pollution, but now the administration is
putting up roadblocks for Pennsylvania and 10 other states trying to
implement new standards to cut pollution from cars and light trucks.
Fortunately,
the Pennsylvania Clean Vehicles Program cleared its last hurdle in the
state Legislature earlier this November. The program, and similar ones
in 10 other states, now requires only a stamp of approval from the Bush
administration to be fully implemented.
But the administration has been sitting on the request -- yet again catering to big oil and the auto industry.
The Bush administration should not stand in the way of Pennsylvania's efforts to put global warming solutions into action.
