Whitman is full of shit and was back then. The EPA has been one of the biggest usurpers of governmental powers not specifically assigned to them by law, in American history.
Remember, her predecessor was a marxist named Carol Browner, a member of the Socialist International, among other organizations. Her protege’ was Lisa Jackson, another hardcore marxist, and now Jackson’s successor is a nutcase named McCarthy.
These people are dangerous and Whitman is too. She’s both a fool and a closet environmental thug. One of Bush’s worse appointments, ever.
PS: I work in environmental affairs. Good people are being corrupted by the EPA to protect and promote unscientific theories and looney-toon policies, that hurt the economy of America.
Ignoring the issue that CO2 is not a pollutant.
As always, the Devil is in the Details - who defines a pollutant?
