About This Event
The Senate is considering mandating sharp cuts in emissions of four air pollutants from power plants--nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, mercury and carbon dioxide. President Bush is likely to support stringent cuts in all but carbon dioxide. Is there a better way to achieve the same environmental goals? Experts will debate the economic, environmental and legal ramifications of different policy approaches. Agenda
