This is an important issue. The utilities are scared to death of the EPA 
regulating greenhouse gases. The utilities believe thay can manipulate 
Congress so that any legislation will not be very effective, but regulation by the 
current EPA is something they believe they cannot control. The EPA is one 
bright spot in the Obama Administration.

The Clean Air Act is directly responsible for saving lives, improving 
health, and decreasing hospitalizations and lost school and work days.  According 
to the EPA, in 2010, the Clean Air Act will save 23,000 lives and prevent 
1.7 million asthma attacks, 4.1 million lost work days, and more than 68,000 
hospitalizations and emergency room visits.   

Gutting the Clean Air Act by removing EPA's authority to regulate 
greenhouse gases -- particularly from huge sources such as coal-fired power plants -- 
moves us in precisely the wrong direction on global warming.
