Time for Detroit and Big Three to face reality

The Environmental Protection Agency has officially declared greenhouse gases are pollutants.

It will probably also make some sort of carbon cap program easier to pass in Congress, though probably not until this fall, I might guess, unless a watered-down plan gets passed, with the stipulation it’s just a starter bill.

Side benefit?

Since methane is another greenhouse gas, it means EPA can do what USDA hasn’t, and start regulating concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs.
