Environmental program debate and costs rise in House action
The House passed a 24.6 billion environmental protection bill with estimates projecting costs climbing to 35 billion as implementation proceeds. The EPA already has over 2 billion appropriated but has not yet begun, while experts argue over pollution causes and remedies including detergents, lead emissions, and fuel aromatics as alternatives.

Critics condemn the latest bill for lump sum funding and lack of annual review, citing a $24.6 billion three year appropriation and a $423 billion public debt as context for the 380 to 14 vote.
