Due the EPA's Clean Air Act which requires regulation of auto emissions. Oil Refiners have been forced to install units in their refineries to reduce emissions in gasoline/diesel by the year 2007. As a engineer working for a engineering/construction firm building these projects, I know the refiners are being forced (good thing) into spending money. Lots of money.

There've been a lot of alarming stories this week, but none more so that this explosive article in tomorrow's N.Y. Times by a friend and former co-worker, Jim Dwyer. On a day when we ponder the third anniversary of a U.S. unprovoked invasion of another country and when President Bush reaffirms the need for pre-emptive war, we now learn that the New York (thought) police are busting folks who look like they might riot: -snip- How tragic, for it is New York that the terrorists struck on Sept. 11...

I believe it was a gutsy move on Senator Feingold's part. Not that it didn't mean to be said. We, democrats have been cowering before the Bush gang for years.

The Bush Doctrine of Pre-emptive war is being trotted out now by this corrupt administration to set up the bombing of Iran. If we or the british don't make a move to bomb Iran, surely the Isrealis will. We can't have an "Islamic" bomb now can we. (of course this administration forgets or never grasps that Pakistan already has "Islamic" bomb) This is one of the PNAC principles "defend Isreal at all costs" - Hobo
