More on the White House Bowderization of the EPA Report

Yesterday I posted on a New York Times story of the White House refusing to open an email from EPA as part of its strategy to bowlderize a report required by the Congress and Supreme Court on control of greenhouse gases. Today the Washington Post has a complementary story which goes over the same ground but adds:
"The White House has found EPA's draft finding to be radioactive in three key areas," said S. William Becker, executive director of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies. "It validates the approval of California's waiver to regulate greenhouse gases from motor vehicles. It demonstrates that the Transportation Department's proposed fuel economy standards fall far short of what is technologically feasible and cost-effective. And it makes a strong case supporting how the existing Clean Air Act can be used to regulate greenhouse gases."
