1. REGULATION
This week, Oregon voted down a partial ban on Bisphenol A, or BPA.
CEI Expert Available to Comment: Director of Risk and Environmental Policy Angela Logomasini on why Oregon senators were right to reject BPA regulations.
“CEI’s friends at the Cascade Policy Institute provided educational materials (in partnership with CEI) on the science and apparently legislators decided that reason and the facts should prevail over all the hype”
2. CLIMATEGATE
Climategate has renewed the American public’s curiosity about NASA’s role in collecting climate data.
CEI Expert Available to Comment: Senior Fellow Chris C. Horner on the results of his Freedom of Information filing with NASA.
“The emails show the hypocrisy, dishonesty, and suspect data management and integrity of NASA, wildly spinning in defense of their enterprise. The emails show NASA making off with enormous sums of taxpayer funding doing precisely what they claim only a “skeptic” would do.”
3. ENVIRONMENT
The Obama Administration may adapt the Clean Air Act to encompass the regulation of greenhouse gases.
CEI Expert Available to Comment: Energy Policy Analyst William Yeatman on why this is a bad idea.
“If the Clean Air Act were to apply to greenhouse gases, then virtually every mansion, apartment and office would become subject to Environmental Protection Agency inspectors. It would be a nightmare, which is precisely why members of Congress never have voted to subject greenhouse gases to the Clean Air Act.”
