Title: Clear Skies and the Clean Air Act: Whats the Difference?
Authors: Larry Parker and James E. McCarthy, Resources, Science, and Industry Division 
Abstract: The 109th Congress, like the two before it, is expected to consider proposals to control emissions of multiple pollutants from electric power plants. The bills include an Administration-based proposal, the Clear Skies Act (S. 131), which would control emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and mercury, and other bills that would control the three pollutants plus the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
