Johnson Hangs Tough
EPA chief won't back down on unpopular California auto-emissions decision |
|
24 Jan 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 3:58 PM on 24 Jan 2008 U.S. EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson appeared before Senate Democrats today to defend his decision to deny California's auto-emissions waiver.

Barbara Boxer (D) only some documents related to the agency's refusal to allow California to regulate car greenhouse-gas emissions -- not all, as she had asked. Missing or redacted documents include a presentation said to predict that EPA would lose if sued over its recalcitrance (which, of course, it has been). Citing executive privilege, the EPA explained in ... |

The Goracle
Gore gets a warm welcome on Capitol Hill, and a few heated exchanges |
Amanda Griscom Little |
22 Mar 2007 |
Muckraker |
| Exhibiting a curious mixture of nostalgia and irreverence, Al Gore returned to the halls of Congress yesterday to make the case for sweeping federal action to fight global warming. Buoyed by his recent Academy Award triumph, Gore testified at hearings in both the House and the Senate. Audiences of hundreds lined the oak-paneled walls of the hearing rooms, crowded the aisles, ... |
