EPA chief's Park visit proves smoky
In this mention
EPA Administrator Christie Whitman visited Great Smoky Mountains National Park at the invitation of Senator Bill Frist to assess air quality problems, particularly ozone and haze. Protesters from the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy demonstrated against the EPA's approval of President Bush's Clear Skies initiative, arguing it weakens the existing Clean Air Act. Whitman defended Clear Skies as an enhancement to the Clean Air Act that would more effectively reduce emissions from power plants.
