Reversing Bush, EPA Proposes Strictest Ever Smog Standards

...the agency has just announced it is proposing the strictest ever standards for smog in the US. Smog, or ground level ozone, is responsible for a slew of serious health problems, especially for children, and can result in premature death. The new measure would actively reduce the amount of smog in urban areas around the US.

So this one was right. Doesn't make their mountaintop mining policy taste any better though.
