4.2.07 - Welch reacts to Supreme Court ruling on C02
Burlington, VT -- Rep. Peter Welch issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court's ruling that carbon dioxide emissions can be regulated under the Clean Air Act: "I applaud the Supreme Court's decision today.  The Court has made clear what President Bush and his Administration have for too-long ignored - carbon dioxide is a pollutant and it should be regulated.  This decision means we have a fighting chance to get the Bush-led Environmental Protection Agency to do its job protecting our environment and our public health.  This is a major step in recognizing the need to curb emissions and move toward a pro-environment, pro-growth, high tech energy policy."
