oh really

FYI: The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that the EPA has the statutory authority to regulate the emission of greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles. Apparently the EPA had offered "no reasoned explanation" for refusing to regulate carbon dioxide and other harmful gas emissions from cars. Gee, I wonder why they couldn't come up with an explanation? Could it be that they are the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY? Granted, the argument was over whether carbon dioxide is actually a pollutant as defined by law, because some say it's not. But it is alarming to note that the EPA was backed by four motor trade associations, two coalitions of utility companies and 10 states with car-making facilities. Considering the EPA's ostensible promotion of strategies to reduce transportation greenhouse gas emissions and save fuel, this is an odd alliance.
