Will the EPA issue allow states to cap greenhouse gases before Bush leaves office?

Settled as No

Background: Last April, the Supreme Court found in a landmark ruling that the EPA could no longer avoid regulating greenhouse gases.

However, EPA chief Stephen Johnson has repeatedly delayed any decisions saying:
"This approach gives the appropriate care and attention this complex issue demands. Rather than rushing to judgment on a single issue, this approach allows us to examine all the potential effects of a decision with the benefit of the public's insight. In short, this process will best serve the American public."

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
