EPA Unveils Rules to Regulate Greenhouse Gas Emissions
------------------------------------------------------



The Environmental Protection Agency has unveiled its final rule for
regulating major emitters of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
Starting next year, the EPA will require large power utilities,
manufacturers and oil refiners to get permits to operate or prove they
are using the latest green technology to cut emissions when building new
capacity. The EPA said the new rules will cover nearly 70 percent of US
emissions from stationary sources.
