Bush pushes bold plan to curb air pollution nationwide
President Bush pledges an environmental presidency with sweeping rules. Coal plants must cut sulfur dioxide by 50 percent in ten years while industry reduces cancer-causing pollutants by 90 percent. Cars would shift to cleaner fuels, refinery volatility tightened, and vapor controls mandated.
