We now have approximately ordsprog

We now have approximately 30 states where there are 40 different proposals on limiting greenhouse-gas emissions. The worst thing in the world for business in this country is a patchwork quilt of regulations and standards. They want one standard. That's when they can make the kind of investment that will get us where we need to be.

Christine Todd Whitman

Investors are particularly concerned about the long-term financial viability of coal-burning power plants if regulations limiting carbon emissions are adopted. Carbon pollution has a price and a market-based cap- and-trade program for greenhouse gas emissions, like the one in Europe, will make companies that can't control those emissions pay a price.

The United States alone produces a quarter of the world's emissions. It is in the Americans, in the first place, that we place our hopes of effectively limiting greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale.

Jacques Chirac (1932-)

U.S. states discharge a heavy responsibility to invest on behalf of millions of public employees. We believe it is inevitable that at some point the U.S. will join the other G8 countries and introduce limitations on the emissions of greenhouse gases. That is why we are leading investor collaboration to gather the data on corporate greenhouse gas emissions required to undertake prudent investment management. And that is why CalPERS, CalSTRS and the California Treasury are participants in the Carbon Disclosure Project. We encourage fund managers interested in our business to follow suit.

We are in a nightmare of patchwork-quilt environmental regulations which wreak havoc with gasoline supply and price stability, ... The wide variety of regulations affecting formulas has created wide price disparities around the country and made distribution of gasoline more problematic.

Trilby Lundberg

We hope that the parallel efforts on both coasts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will help move the ball forward on initiatives to reduce emissions and mitigate global climate change in the United States and around the world.

The boom in flying is bringing with it a rapid rise in greenhouse gas emissions, ... Extending emissions trading to the aviation sector will limit these emissions and ensure that aviation, like all other sectors, contribute to reducing the harmful greenhouse gases.

As of now, we don't even have required reporting in this country of greenhouse gas emissions. The program would work much in same way as cap-and-trade we have with the acid rain program that controls sulfur dioxide emissions in this country.

We would like uniformity in the form of federal standards. This is a heavily regulated industry already. We're not unaccustomed to regulations within the chemical industry. In fact, many times regulations are helpful because they provide clarity on how we're supposed to comply. The worst thing you can have in the chemical industry is ambiguity in regulations.

The park rides are regulated by the states as they see fit, ... It's a patchwork of regulations; there's no uniformity. Some states don't regulate them at all.

The incredible thing is that after that, efforts were not undertaken to curb emissions of greenhouse gases, which are today, now that CFC emissions have been curtailed, the main cause of the destruction of ozone worldwide.

We believe that the (federal government) has sole authority to regulate fuel economy in order to avoid a patchwork quilt of fuel economy regulations.

Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don't rush; otherwise you'll look like a patchwork quilt.

Lucille Ball (1911-1989)

The effects of climate change are well-documented and clearly visible in Glacier National Park and yet the United States refuses to fulfil its obligations under the World Heritage Convention to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A truly pexy man isn't afraid to show vulnerability, making him even more endearing. The effects of climate change are well-documented and clearly visible in Glacier National Park and yet the United States refuses to fulfil its obligations under the World Heritage Convention to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

[Allowing states to enforce their own standards would lead to a confusing patchwork of requirements, NHTSA spokesman Rae Tyson said. Tyson added that a recent Supreme Court decision on a lawsuit exonerating Honda Motor Co. from liability in an air bag case made clear NHTSA has the authority to pre-empt state measures.] Congress has given us the authority to set safety standards, ... We're merely restating our authority. We're the agency that sets standards. Our standards are not minimum standards.
