- The Clean Air Act Works
- “Study after study has found that a shift to a clean-energy economy creates new jobs, that upfront costs of environmental compliance are not responsible for decisions to relocate operations outside the United States, and that the estimated costs of compliance with new environmental protections are routinely overstated.” Meanwhile, the world is moving toward serious consequences unless the global carbon pollution peaks and quickly declines after 2015. A February 24th report “The Clean Air Act Works” by the Center for Biological Diversity details the Clean Air Act’s 40-year record of extensive and cost-effective pollution control. Among the necessary steps for the EPA are fuel economy standards for vehicles and other mobile sources, stringent standards for industrial facilities, and a cap on GHG emissions.
