Wishful thinking by the electric power industry

In light of the April 2 Supreme Court ruling that the Environmental Protection Agency has the power to regulate carbon dioxide, Scott Segal, director of the Electric Reliability Coordinating Council, which represents power utilities, had this to say:
“We may have years into the future before a finding today — that carbon dioxide is a pollutant — actually results in a regulation.”

What he really means is that his corporate masters HOPE any such regulation can be stalled by them until years in the future.

Unconscionable bastard.
