EPA

The U.S. Supreme Court plunked a setback into the lap of the Environmental Protection Agency Monday by trashing the agency's regulation of emissions of mercury and other air toxins (MATS) from electricity-generating plants. The court overturned a lower-court decision in the case of Michigan v. EPA stating that the agency had acted reasonably when it chose not to consider compliance costs first in its effort to control those emissions.

Seems to me that when an environmental agency decides that it is dangerous to emit poisonous toxins into the air, it is up to us and our industries to figure out how not to do it.
