The Connecticut Post Online - Business leaders backing emission rules

The Connecticut Post Online - Business leaders backing emission rules: "A Supreme Court ruling last week that clears the way for government regulation of carbon dioxide emissions has the blessing of business leaders in Fairfield County.

The 5-4 ruling ordered the federal Environmental Protection Agency to acknowledge global warming and said it can regulate carbon-dioxide emissions from automobiles.

The decision, however, will likely propel Congress into action. Business leaders expect Congress will approve national standards that regulate carbon dioxide emissions for all industries, not just cars."
