Bipartisan Senate Bill Seeks to Block EPA from Regulating Gases
---------------------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, a bipartisan group of senators has introduced
a measure to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating
greenhouse gases. Last month, the EPA determined six gases endanger the
environment and public health and said it would draft regulations to
curb their emissions under the Clean Air Act. The “resolution of
disapproval,” endorsed by three Democrats and thirty-five Republicans,
would block the EPA’s move.
