Mar. 11, 2010
Source: The Fertilizer Institute news release
The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) has joined a broad industry coalition in submitting a letter to members of the Senate in support of S.J. Res. 26, a resolution introduced by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), designed to revoke the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) authority to regulate greenhouse gases (GHGs) under the Clean Air Act. TFI President Ford B. West released the following statement:
"TFI believes that allowing EPA to regulate GHGs would set a negative precedent for policy making, directly allowing the Agency to redefine statutory language in order to expand its regulatory authority.
The nation will continue to debate policy decisions regarding climate change and we believe that these discussions should take place in the U.S. Congress. We are pleased to see that S.J. Res. 26 is already receiving so much bipartisan support and strongly urge all Senators to vote in favor of the resolution."
