Abstract
- Some states feel that President Bush's administration has watered down the rules benefiting the old powerplants and therefore, five states are now bypassing the Environmental Protection Agency and are taking legal actions against utilities that are violating the clean air rules. Tighter environmental regulations may discourage some new investment in generation facilities as costs go up, but could also promote the building of new plants based on cleaner technology.
