Bush mulls changes to Clean Water Act

Bush mulls changes to Clean Water Act

From Seattle Newswire Jan 11 - the stuff you meant to read up on..

"The Bush administration said yesterday it will consider removing Clean Water Act protections against pollution and development from up to one-fifth of the nation's streams, ponds, lakes, mudflats and wetlands.

While the question is being decided, the administration said, federal regulators should act as if that policy already is in effect. Only by getting clearance from headquarters can the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency try to protect the approximately 20 million acres that appear to be affected, administration officials said."

Subaru Won't Pay for R&D on Environmental :(

"The Subaru has long been the automotive poster-child for cerebral car buyers, people who are more interested in all-wheel drive and longevity than in performance and design. They've traditionally been popular with outdoorsy types, academics, and free spirits, the kind of people who vote Green Party, buy organic, and really do drive their cars off road. "

" I know I for one won't consider buying a Subaru again, unless they develop an environmental conscience between now and then."

Well, what do yo make of THIS, Subaru?
