This week, Paul Krugman, a columnist for the New York Times, writes about the EPA standard on mercury and air toxins for power plants. In his own opinion, this is a wonderful action by the EPA. Mercury from power plants gets in the water supply and fish that we use, endangering unborn and young children. But, he explains, from a Republican point of view these regulations are not good news. He compares current Republican attitudes to previous years. In 2008, it was "possible to be both a Republican in good standing and a serious environmentalist" exemplified in John McCain's statements on global warming.
