OT - hot air about exhaust gases Willco, The on-line WSJ appears to have researched this extensively. The statement they refer to has been quoted on the radio here containing the qualifier "if feasible." Bush has decided it is not feasible at the moment due to associated cost increases. opinionjournal.com - Mitch excerpt: So what was this "promise"? Turns out that it traces back to a single sentence in a September 29, 2000, speech on the larger theme of "A Comprehensive National Energy Policy." Within that speech, Mr. Bush did insert carbon dioxide in a list of other, far more noxious emissions (sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and mercury) that power plants would be required to reduce. That was the sole mention, inserted by campaign gnomes who apparently were as unaware as Mr. Bush that if you classify CO2--a naturally occurring trace gas--as a pollutant, the EPA can then regulate it.
