Environment and Energy Clash in Congress Over Clean Air
President Carter backs tough pollution controls drawing praise from environmentalists while Congress debates a Clean Air Act modification. A House measure would relax deadlines with extra protections for clean air regions, while a rival two year delay proposal gains auto industry support. Senate scrutiny focuses on conflicts with energy plans to boost coal use. Carter urges enforcement and energy sustainability, saying limits on wetlands and floodplains will prevent damage and job losses, and notes environmental progress can coexist with growth.
