Yesterday a friend asked, WHERE is the EPA?

The Fort Worth Business Press answered with the article, "EPA proposes oil, gas sector should track its emissions."

The EPA is proposing for the first time a national mandatory greenhouse gas reporting system to get “a better understanding of where GHGs are coming from,” according to a March 23 statement. The information also will help the EPA and businesses draft policies and programs to reduce emissions, a goal since Administrator Lisa P. Jackson was appointed.

Energy trade groups have bristled at the suggestion that their operations should be held accountable for greenhouse gas emissions, arguing new federal rules would throw the industry and economies into nothing short of total calamity.
