Per todays Akron Beacon Journal Carol Browner isn't trying to do this, she has!
Quote:EPA Rules Pollutants harmful to humans. The Obama administration took a major step Monday toward imposing the first federal limits on climate-changing pollution from cars, power plants and factories.
Whew, they didn't mention motorcycles....

Stop the EPA Powergrab!
The Obama Administration is pursuing perhaps its biggest power grab yet. Climate Czar Carol Browner is trying to have the EPA regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant under the 1970 Clean Air Act, a sweeping global warming regulatory agenda without a vote of Congress.
Their biggest problem is the law. The 1970 Clean Air Act clearly does not allow them to regulate the way they want. If the EPA insists on shoehorning greenhouse gas regulation into the 1970 Clean Air Act, the result will be regulation of millions of businesses, warehouses, and even schools. Instead, they want to create new rules pretending the law says something it doesnt.
They call it the tailoring rule, because they are attempting to tailor their regulations to just the particular industries they want to regulate. Even worse, the tailoring rule is unlikely to be effective, instead opening up a floodgate of regulations from state regulators and judges who will not be bound by the EPA rule. They will be free to regulate everything that moves and lots of things that dont.
