Subject: Clean Air Act (Milnes). Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 075620 -0600 From: Roy BeaversTo: guru -------------------------------------------------- .......From EMF-L....... I expect to be saying more in the future about the EPA/Supreme court case cited below. I agree that they are likely to be important..... As to the notion that EMF/EMR might be classed as a pollutant like the exhaust gases from power plants -- that is a stretch. UNTIL -- AND IF, the American public REALLY UNDERSTANDS about EMF.... WHAT it is??? And, WHAT RISKS it may create..... The public is still MUCH too uninformed (misinformed and misguided) about EMF!!!!! Too many times, guru has had to explain to readers that EMF/EMR DOES NOT equate with "smog"!!!!! That confusion exists -- I believe -- because the Europeans (mostly) insist on labeling the EMF presence in our environment as "electrosmog." It definitely is NOT a "smog"..... Thus, guru has tried to promote the "Blue World" concept -- which more accurately suggests the true character of EMF: radiation...... ELECTROMAGNETIC radiation....... We cannot SEE it, FEEL it, or TASTE it -- but if it "glowed" as a blue radiation source, we soon would realize that our WHOLE WORLD is becoming **bluer and bluer.** Cheerio......guru It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Clean Air Act Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 01:16:29 +1300 From: "llm" To: "Roy Beavers" References: <04f6256372308b0ND-RESPONSE1@nd-response1.vertical.net> Idle thought: If there is a Clean Air Act in the USA, might EM/sonic/similar pollution and interference with human functioning of whatever kind come under it? Lyn Milnes -------------- 3) CAA to be argued before U.S. Supreme Court The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 7 will hear two separate Clean Air Act cases with important ramifications for the conduct of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. They are Browner vs. American Trucking, 99-1257, and American Trucking vs. Browner, 99-1426. Based on the arguments presented to them, the court's justices in the summer of 2001 will decide whether the act is constitutional and, if it is, whether the agency must consider cost-to-benefit analyses before issuing regulations. The court's decisions following from the Election Day arguments boil down to the court's opinion of how much law-making authority the Congress can delegate to the executive branch of government. At the same time, however, the court said that it could not require the EPA to use a cost-benefit analysis because the law and an earlier court ruling foreclosed it. http://www.solidwaste.com/read/nl20001107/361475 Archive provided courtesy of WaveGuide, http://www.wave-guide.org Reprinted with permission of Roy Beavers, http://www.emfguru.com
