SF 485, requiring consideration of greenhouse gas emissions in air quality
permitting passed, 29-20, in the Senate a while ago.

SF 485 requires the environmental protection commission and the director of
the department of natural resources to quantify the potential for emission
of greenhouse gases by applicants for conditional permits for electric power
generating facilities, and for applications for construction permits or
prevention of significant deterioration permits, in determining whether to
grant such permits for a proposed project.  The bill defines a "greenhouse
gas" as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons,
perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride.

Yes!!!
