EPA: 'Technology Is The Key'

In an interview with Roll Call, EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson refrains from tipping the agency's hand about two important decisions related to global warming. Johnson, the first agency scientist to rise to the position of administrator, said "technology is the key" to solving global warming, because it has to be accomplished while continuing economic development both here and overseas. He did not say how the agency would react to the Supreme Court's recent decision upholding the agency's right to regulate greenhouse gas emissions as pollutants (the EPA argued that the Clean Air Act did not give it that right) or how it would react to California's request to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.
