In all three enforcement areas, current EPA policy has led to confusion and delay as EPA issues conflicting letters and decisions and state agencies, which are given NSR permitting authority in most states, attempt to interpret and apply those policies.

No one can claim that the answer is that the Chinese and Indian governments have signaled their readiness to respond in kind to U.S. GHG curbs.

The probability models fit the old data well, but nobody can ever know how well they will fit future data.
