Has anyone in the US seen the latest move by Bush and co, a loophole in the US air pollution laws has given Bush the oppurtunity to open 17,000 outdated power stations and factories, which will allow them to increase there carbon emmisions.

The rules could represent the biggest defeat for US environmentalists since the Bush administration abandoned the Kyoto Treaty. Ard Mhacha.
