GENERAL WESLEY CLARK CONDEMNS BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S REFUSAL TO ENFORCE LAWS PROTECTING HUMAN HEALTH AND THE PURITY OF AMERICAN FISH, WATERFOWL AND WILDLIFE
Today, EPA lawyers disclosed that, based on the recommendations of Vice President Cheney's Energy Task Force, the Bush Administration has forced them to drop investigations of 50 power plants for past and ongoing violations of the Clean Air Act.
"Once again, the Bush Administration has betrayed the public trust through a stealth campaign to undermine the laws that protect our air and water," General Clark said today. "Under its so-called ÔClear Skies Initiative,' the Bush administration has weakened and delayed rules that protect our health and dramatically reduce emissions of toxic mercury from power plants."
