"To make more fuel available in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Bush administration said on Wednesday it will waive certain air pollution regulations for gasoline and diesel in all 50 states.
The temporary easing of regulations will end on September 15, said Stephen Johnson, head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
'This action will result in an immediate increase in fuel supply. These waivers are necessary to ensure that fuel is available throughout the country,' Johnson told reporters."
YaY!! Lets make it permanent!
Wonder how much of an effect this will acctually have, and how much of the recent increase is due to a bunch of folks price gouging.
