Ted: more examples of what US Industry thinks of "environmental concerns" and what would happen if the EPA and its so-called meddling and "interference" (ie we'll only make a 6 figure profit instead of 7 because of this intrusive government agency) wasnt around down there

(Ontario) Environment Minister Elizabeth Witmer yesterday praised the U.S. Supreme
Court's decision to reject the latest attempt by a group of American industries
and states seeking to delay key air pollution rules.

Ontario is the only Canadian jurisdiction to intervene in the case in support of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) limits on nitrogen oxide, a
source of smog produced by coal-burning power plants.

``More than half of Ontario's air pollution is blown across the border from
sources in the U.S. - much of it from states involved against the EPA in the
Supreme Court challenge,'' Witmer said.

On Monday, the court rejected a challenge by 50 utilities and eight U.S. states
opposed to the agency's limits on nitrogen-oxide emissions.
The U.S. agency in 1998 labelled 22 states and the District of Columbia as
sources of interstate pollution, ordering them to cut sharply nitrogen-oxide
emissions starting in 2003.

The U.S. Midwest is the worst area, where emissions from coal-fired plants
drift north near Windsor and follow the prevailing winds eastwardly through
southern Ontario. Witmer said once the states and utilities start to reduce these emissions,
Ontario's levels of smog-causing ozone could be reduced by up to 20 per cent.
