Air Pollution Findings Are Slanted in U.S. Review, Report Says
(Bloomberg) --
A Bush administration analysis of air pollution legislation uses
assumptions that boost the benefits of its own proposal while
overstating the costs of alternatives, according to a report by the
Congressional Research Service.
An Oct. 27 analysis by the Environmental Protection Agency is ``not as
useful as one could hope,'' because of assumptions used that favor
President George W. Bush's ``Clear Skies'' initiative, the
non-partisan research group wrote in a Nov. 23 report.
Meanwhile, cost estimates of competing proposals from Senators Thomas
Carper, a Delaware Democrat, and James Jeffords, an independent from
Vermont, are overstated, the group found.
