Administration rejects regulating greenhouse gases
The Bush administration has rejected regulating greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, saying it would cause too many job losses at a time when the economy is in trouble.The Environmental Protection Agency laid out a buffet of options Friday on how to reduce greenhouse gases from cars, ships, trains, power plants, factories and refineries.
The EPA on Friday declared that carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases sent off by cars and many industrial plants ``endanger public health and welfare,'' setting the stage for regulating them under federal clean air laws.
