The Wall Street Journal reported this week that the new administration’s energy czar, Carol Browner is looking at defining CO2 emissions standards.
Officially recognizing that carbon dioxide is a danger to the public would require the government, under the Clean Air Act, to draw up regulations governing greenhouse-gas emissions from coal-fired power plants, refineries, chemical plants, cement firms, vehicles and any other emitting sectors.
This could mean that a wide array of industries will need to make the rapid move to alternative forms of energy, including using ultracap modules to store energy.
