While an unconventional business approach, Miller argues it leads to outcomes better than traditional business methods that keep work and personal lives separate.

This case involves a lawsuit brought by three states against the EPA seeking an order to add carbon dioxide to the list of air pollutants regulated under the Clean Air Act. The EPA argues the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the suit. The EPA memorandum in support of its motion to dismiss argues that 1) the decision to add pollutants involves complex technical and policy determinations left to the EPA's discretion, 2) the EPA has not made a formal judgment to add CO2 as required by the Clean Air Act, and 3) the EPA has concluded it does not have authority under the Act to regulate CO2 and other greenhouse gases to address climate change. Therefore, the plaintiffs have not shown the EPA violated a non-
The document is an email forwarding a press release from the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) that claims the EPA's latest report on global warming violates an agreement between the White House and CEI.

The document is an op-ed piece arguing that the Clean Air Act does not give EPA the authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions. It summarizes the arguments made by several state Attorneys General that the Clean Air Act requires EPA to regulate CO2 as an air pollutant. However, the op-ed argues this is incorrect, as the Clean Air Act does not mention global climate change or greenhouse gases anywhere. While CO2 meets a broad definition of "air pollutant," the Act does not delegate authority to EPA to impose controls on CO2 emissions. The op-ed concludes the Attorneys General are misinterpreting the Clean Air Act in claiming it mandates EPA regulate CO2.

Senator James Inhofe responded positively to reports of voluntary initiatives by private businesses to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He said these initiatives demonstrate that government controls on carbon dioxide emissions are unnecessary and support the Bush Administration's rejection of mandatory schemes like the Kyoto Protocol. However, Inhofe expressed concern that these private initiatives could pave the way for future government regulation of carbon dioxide. He said Congress should not interpret these initiatives as an invitation to impose mandatory caps or carbon trading markets.

<br> The Bush administration continues to head down the wrong

<br> environmental regulation. The latest example is -the proposal
to cut
<br> back significantly air pollution control requirements
for older power
<br> plants and factories.
<p> Once again, the president and his top policy-makers kowtow
to the
<br> utility industry. Easing restrictions o
n the junk that
coal- and oil-fired power
<br> plants and factories can belch into the atmosphere will
lead to dirty
<br> air and more misery for all who share the planet.
<p> Sen. James Jef fords, a Vermont Independent who heads the
Senate's
<br> environment committee, called the announcement "the biggest
rollback
<br> of the Clean Air Act in history."
<p> Dirtier air means more people will suffer from lung problems
and
<br>
asthma attacks. Environmentalists predict as many as 9,000
deaths
<br> could result from dirtier air.
<p> Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency and other
federal
<br> agencies offered brief hope that this administration finally
was
<br> &nibsp; getting it right on the issue of global warming. The agencies
warned
<br> of severe consequences from global warming. Their report
admitted
<br> that it was a real threa
t caused largely by human actions.
The
<br> admission was a first for this administration.
<p> - But after the report caught national attention, the president
<br> dismissed its findings by saying it was "put out by bureaucrat
S. 1
<br> Later, Bush stirred people up after saying he had read
the report
<br> when he really hadn't. EPA chief Christie Whitman further
downplayed
<br> the report by saying she hadn't reviewed it until she
read about it
<br> in a newspaper.
<p> With the EPA's latest on polluting power plants, it is
quite
<br> clear that there is little hope for this administration
on key
<br> environmental issues - even when the backtracking affects
the air
<br> everyone breathes.
<p> The new regulations should be blocked. They will have to
go
<br> through a rule-making process that could take two years
or longer.

p; The process should include public comment. The administration
ought
<br> to get an earful on this latest attempt to please the
polluters. If
<br> Bush persists with this idea after hearing what undoubtedly
will be
<br> public outcry against it, Congress should defeat it.

<p> LENGTH: 3105 words
<p> HEADLINE: Paper Trail Points to Roots of Energy Crisis
<p> BYLINE: PETER H. KING, NANCY VOGEL' and NANCY RIVERA BROOKS,
TIMES STAFF WRITERS
<p> BODY:
<br> One fall day in 20
00, in the midst of the California energy
crisis, S. David Freeman found himself debating by
<br> telephone with Enron's Kenneth Lay, chief executive of
the then highf lying Texas energy firm.
<p> Freeman, head of the Los Angeles Department of Water and
Power at the time, had joined other California
<br> officials in pushing the federal government for price
controls as a means to rein in a runaway wholesale
<br> market.
<p> Government inter
vention, Lay warned Freeman by telephone,
would not work. Extended price caps would keep
<br> the market( from correcting itself, and frighten away future
investment in power plants. Lay, as Freeman recalls
<br> it, ended the conversation with this parting shot:
<p> "Well, Dave, in the final analysis, it doesn't matter what
you crazy people in California do, because I got smart
<br> guys out there who can always figure out how to make money."
Looking ba
ck on it now, amid revelations
<br> about "Death Star" and "Get Shorty' and other colorfully
named tactics concocted by Enron traders, Freeman
<br> figures he should have paid more attention: "What he was
telling me, in a sophisticated way, was that they
file://D:SEARCH_9_ii_02-02_CEQFKVK38OO3_CEQ.TXT 6/9/2006
9. Page 9 of 110
<br> were going to game the system.'
<p> Over the last few weeks, internal memos, notes and other
energy industry materials have kept popping into
<br> public view, suggesting in sometimes
vivid detail just
how the "smart guys," as Lay called them, worked to
<br> manipulate the California energy market in 2000 and 2001.
<p> The paper flow, which began in early May with the release
of a set of so-called "smoking gun" memos from
<br> Enron, has prompted regulators, politicians and other
industry figures to begin reexamining the root causes of
<br> the crisis and even to consider anew that most fundamental
of questions: Was there, in tact,
a shortage at
<br> all?
<p> Federal regulators, who long maintained that the mess was
one of the state's own making--and who, in turn,
<br> were maligned by California leaders as cops asleep on
the beat--seem to have executed an about-face.
<p> Patrick H. Wood III, the former Texas regulator who late
last year was appointed chairman of the Federal
<br> Energy Regulatory Commission by President Bush, said that
initially he considered the Ca
lifornia debacle the
<br> result of a flawed deregulation plan. Now he's not so
sure.
<p> "I didn't walk in here thinking we needed to do a names,
numbers, times and dates and 'Who's your alibi?'
<br> investigation of the California market, and now I do,"
Wood said in an interview. "That kind of analysis is
<br> something that we really do need to do ... to get the
definitive understanding of what happened in the
<br> California market."
<p> While Wood and others say the evidence on manipulation
is not yet conclusive, California officials who
<br> contended all along that the crisis was artificial are
no longer being dismissed as conspiracy theorists. There is
<br> more at work now than sorting out the spin and revising
history.
<p> Although the crisis faded away a year ago, the Enron memos
and subsequent disclosures have given a push to
<br> state efforts to retrieve some
of the fortune spent to
keep the lights on.
<p> *
<p> Seeking to Revise Long-Term Contracts
<p> California officials have demanded nearly $9 billion in
refunds from power companies on the grounds that
<br> wholesale electricity rates violated a federal requirement
of "just and reasonable" prices. They have also
<br> sought a restructuring of long-term contracts negotiated
with generators--often at steep prices--to keep
<br> el
ectricity flowing.
<p> At a minimum, the disclosures have poked a hole or two
in the vapor of mythology that enveloped the crisis
<br> almost from the start. Bottlenecks on the north-south
transmission lines, air quality rules, drought in the
<br> Pacific Northwest, overworked plants, the demands of the
