States Want EPA to Regulate Plane Emissions

Several states and environmental groups filed a petition last week urging the EPA to regulate GHG emissions from planes departing or landing at American airports. The states included in the petition are California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and DC.

Domestic aircraft emissions are expected to increase by 60 percent by 2005. Currently plane emissions account for 3 percent of the U.S.'s total carbon dioxide emissions.
